Step 1: How to Thread the Bobbin

Before you can sew, you need to wind your bobbin. Here’s how:

1. Place the thread spool on the spool pin.

2. Pull the thread through the bobbin winding tension disc.

3. Insert the thread through the bobbin hole and place the bobbin onto the winding pin.

4. Push the bobbin winding pin to the right and press the foot pedal to start winding.

5. Once full, cut the thread and remove the bobbin.

Step 2: How to Thread the Sewing Machine

1. Place the thread spool on the spool pin.

2. Pull the thread through the thread guide and follow the threading path outlined in your sewing machine’s manual.

3. Thread the tension discs and bring the thread down, looping it around the take-up lever.

4. Guide the thread down through the needle bar and thread it through the eye of the needle.

Step 3: How to Insert the Bobbin

1. Open the bobbin case and insert the wound bobbin.

2. Pull the thread through the bobbin tension slot.

3. Hold the top thread and turn the handwheel to bring the bobbin thread up.

4. Pull both threads toward the back of the machine.

Step 4: Sew Your First Stitch

Now that your machine is threaded and ready to go, it’s time to sew!

1. Place your fabric under the presser foot.

2. Lower the presser foot and hold the thread tails lightly.

3. Press the foot pedal to start sewing, guiding the fabric as needed.

4. Sew a few stitches, then backstitch to secure the seam.
