KNOWING YOUR SEWING MACHINE Drawing up the Lower Thread While lightly holding the end of the upper 1 thread, slowly turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) by hand to lower and then raise the needle. ■ Quick-set Bobbin Threading This is only available on certain models. You can begin sewing immediately without drawing up the bobbin thread. When sewing gathers or darts, you can draw up the lower thread by hand so that some thread will be left over. Before you draw up the lower thread, put the bobbin back in. Pass the thread along the slit in the direction 1 of the arrow, and leave it there without cutting it. Pull on the upper thread to draw up the lower 2 thread. Pull out about 10 cm (4 inch) of both threads 3 and put them toward the back of the machine under the presser foot. 1 2 1 Upper thread 2 Lower thread • The bobbin cover should still be removed. Draw up the lower thread as described in the 2 previous steps 1 to 3. Replace the bobbin cover. 3 Sewing with a Twin Needle We have designed your machine so you can sew with this needle and two top threads. You can use the same color or two different colors of thread for making decorative stitches. CAUTION ● Use only twin needles that have been made for this machine (part code: X57521-021). Other needles could break and damage the machine. ● When using the twin needle, make sure the stitch width is not set above 3 since this may cause the needle to hit the needle plate and break. ● Make sure that the needle does not strike the presser foot. ● Do not sew with bent needles. The needle could break and injure you. ● When using the twin needle, make sure you use the zigzag presser foot only. 24
