Threading the Lower Thread
PLEASE NOTE!
■ Only use the bobbins which are supplied with the device!
■ The upper thread must already have been threaded.
■ Use the same sizes of thread for the upper thread and lower thread!
1. Pull the cover of the bobbin compartment to the left away from the slide table.
2. Take one bobbin and unwind approx. 10 cm of the thread.
Setting the Thread Tension
Test the type of stitch ideally using a piece of fabric which you later want to machine.
When the thread tension is set correctly, it is of equal strength for the upper thread and
the lower thread so that both threads cross in the middle of the fabric.

3. Place the bobbin into the bobbin compartment in such a
way that it rotates in the clockwise direction when you pull
on the thread.
4. Place the thread into the slot in the bobbin compartment.
5. Raise the presser foot lever. Take hold of the upper thread
and turn the hand wheel (anticlockwise) towards you. The
needle will dip down into the bobbin compartment and pick
up the lower thread by means of a loop when it lifts up
again.
6. Once this loop has formed, pull the upper thread slightly
tighter and fetch the end of the lower thread with a needle
or scissors which you should guide under the needle and
the presser foot from right to left. The lower thread should
now be pulled through the small hole in the needle plate.
7. Now bring both thread ends together, pull them out for ap-
prox. 15 cm and guide them back under the presser foot.
8. Slide the cover back onto the bobbin compartment.
• For heavy fabric, for example, a lower upper thread ten-
sion is required. If the stitches are too tight, the upper
thread tension has been set too high. Turn the upper
thread tension regulator anticlockwise to ease the tension.
• With light fabrics, a higher upper thread tension is required.
If the stitches are too loose, the upper thread tension has
been set too low. Turn the upper thread tension regulator
clockwise to increase the tension.
• The lower thread tension cannot be adjusted.
