Winding Through the Needle When using the same thread in the needle and bobbin, it is convenient to wind a new bobbin directly through the needle without having to unthread/re-thread your machine. We do not recommend winding speciality threads such as invisible or other stretchy threads, metallic or flat metallic threads through the needle. Very heavy and coarse threads should not be wound through the needle either as the thread tension can become too high, causing the needle to break. Wind specialty threads as described under Bobbin Winding, page 37. 1. Make sure that the presser foot and needle are in the up position. 2. Thread the machine as described under Threading the Upper Thread, page 30. 3. Pull the thread from the needle, under the presser foot and up to the right. Note: Always use a metal presser foot when bobbin winding from the needle. 4. Use both hands to bring the thread through bobbin winding thread guide (A), up through the threading slot and from left to right through thread guide (B). 5. Thread through the slot in the bobbin (D) from the inside to the outside. Place the bobbin on the bobbin spindle. The bobbin only fits on one way, with the logo facing out. The bobbins included are designed especially for your performance icon™ machine. Do not use bobbins from other machine models. 6. Push the bobbin winding lever (E) towards the bobbin. A pop-up appears on screen. To adjust winding speed drag the slider. Hold the thread end firmly when starting to wind. Touch the play button in the popup window and let the thread wind a few turns. Touch the pause icon and cut the loose thread end close to the bobbin. Press play again. Note: Always use a metal presser foot. 7. When the bobbin is full, the bobbin winding lever will move back and the winding will stop automatically. The pop-up message closes. Remove the bobbin and cut the thread using the bobbin winding thread cutter (F). Cut the free thread end close to the bobbin. D F EC A B Preparations 38
