Bobbin and Thread Tension Adjustments Inserting the Bobbin Note: Turn off the power switch while inserting the bobbin case or anytime your hands are near the needle area. TENSION SPRING Figure 13 Figure 11 1. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case so that the thread pulls off clockwise when viewing the open side (Figure 11). Figure 12 2. Slide the thread through the slot (Figure 12) and under the tension spring leaving 5-6 inches of thread hanging loose (Figures 12 and 13). Figure 14 3. To insert the bobbin case into the machine, grasp the bobbin case with thumb and first finger. Do not lift the lever on bobbin case. Fit the bobbin case onto the hook spindle in the machine. Rotate the case until the open throat keys into the alignment notch in the middle of the hook. Push the case in until it stops in place. Push the case inward further until it clicks (see Figure 14). Allow the thread end to hang freely. NOTE: Pulling out the latch lever pushes the bobbin forward in the bobbin case, aiding in removal of the bobbin. The lever should be used only for removing the bobbin case from the machine. Page 18
