bobbin thread by simply inserting the bobbin in the bobbin
case and guiding the thread through the slit in the needle
plate cover.

• If the threads will be pulled to create gathers or the
thread at the beginning of sewing will be finished, for
example, when free motion quilting, first pull up the
bobbin thread.
