CREATING BOBBIN WORK Positioning the Fabric and Sewing Note • Be sure to sew trial stitches using same fabric and threads as your project in order to check the sewing results. • The bobbin thread may become tangled due to the type of pattern and thread that are being used. Since this may cause the needle to break, immediately stop sewing if this occurs. Turn off the machine and cut out the tangled thread with scissors. Then, clean the race and bobbin case as described in "Preparing the Bobbin Thread" on page 4. a b e Turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) to feed the needle into the punched hole. Position the upper thread over the presser foot and lightly hold then, lower the presser foot. Place a lightweight tear-away stabilizer on top (wrong side) of the fabric. Using an awl, punch a hole in the fabric at the beginning of stitching so the bobbin thread can be fed through the fabric. f a Punched hole b Upper thread over the presser foot Pulling the upper thread gently, turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) until the mark on the handwheel aligns with the center top of machine. c d Use the presser foot lever to raise the presser foot. With the wrong side facing up, place the fabric with stabilizer under the presser foot. → A loop of the bobbin thread comes up through the hole in the fabric. g Raise the presser foot lever, and then use tweezers to pull up the bobbin thread and bring the end of the thread to the top of the fabric. a Wrong side of fabric b Stabilizer on wrong side of fabric Note • Pull the thread while holding down the fabric so it does not move out of place. 8
