    Winding/Installing the Bobbin
    This section describes how to wind the thread onto the bobbin, and then insert the bobbin thread.
    Bobbin precautions
    Be sure to observe the following precautions concerning the bobbin.
    CAUTION
    Winding the bobbin
    Wind the thread around the bobbin to prepare the bobbin thread.

    Memo
    zUse embroidery bobbin thread intended for this machine to get attractive finishes. If you use other 
    threads, the pattern may not turn out correctly. For details, refer to Optional accessories (page 9).
    ●Only use the Bobbin (part code: SA156, SFB (XA5539-151)) designed specifically for this 
    machine. Use of any other bobbin may result in injuries or damage to the machine.
    ●The included bobbin was designed specifically for this machine. If bobbins from other models 
    are used, the machine will not operate correctly. Use only the included bobbin or bobbins of 
    the same type (part code: SA156, SFB (XA5539-151)).

    Memo
    zUse the embroidery bobbin thread for 
    embroidering.
    Note
    zIf the spool is not positioned so that the 
    thread unwinds correctly, the thread may 
    become tangled around the spool pin.
    fSlide the spool cap onto the spool pin and 
    return the spool pin to its original position.

    ●If the spool or the spool cap is not

    become tangled around the spool pin or 
    the machine may be damaged.
    ●Three spool cap sizes are available, 
    allowing you to choose a spool cap that 
    best fits the size of spool being used. If the 
    spool cap is too small for the spool being 
    used, the thread may catch on the slit in 
    the spool or the machine may be 
    damaged.

    zWhen using thread that winds off quickly, 
    such as transparent nylon thread or metallic 
    thread, place the spool net over the spool 
    before placing the spool of thread onto the 
    spool pin. If the spool net is too long, fold it 
    to fit the size of the spool.
    When the spool net is used, the upper thread 
    tension may become tighter. Before 
    embroidering, refer to Adjusting the upper 
    thread tension (page 63).

    Note
    zDo not get away from the machine while 
    winding the bobbin. Make sure the bobbin 
    thread is being wound correctly. If the 
    bobbin thread is wound incorrectly, press 
    (Start/stop button) immediately to stop 
    the bobbin winding.

    CAUTION
    ●Be sure to pull the thread tightly and 
    wind it clockwise. If the thread is 
    wound counterclockwise, the thread 
    may wind around the bobbin winder 
    shaft.
    ●Be sure to cut the thread as described. If 
    the bobbin is wound without cutting the 
    thread using the cutter built into the slit 
    in the bobbin winder seat, the thread may 
    become tangled in the bobbin or the 
    needle may bend or break when the 
    bobbin thread starts to run out.
    Wind five or six times. 
    a●When the bobbin winding stops or 
    becomes slow, stop the machine. 
    Otherwise, the machine may be damaged.

    Memo
    zIf the bobbin winder shaft is set to the right 
    side, the needle will not move. 
    (Embroidering is impossible.)

    If the bobbin winding starts when the thread is not 
    passed under the pretension disk of the bobbin-
    winding thread guide correctly, the thread may 
    become tangled under the bobbin winder seat. 
    In such a case, wind off the thread according to the 
    following procedure.

    ●Use a bobbin that has been correctly 
    wound with thread, otherwise the needle 
    may break or the thread tension will be 
    incorrect.
    ●The included bobbin was designed 
    specifically for this machine. If bobbins 
    from other models are used, the machine 
    will not operate correctly. Use only the 
    included bobbin or bobbins of the same 
    type (part code: SA156, SFB (XA5539-

    Upper Threading
    This section describes how to position the spool for the upper thread, and then thread the needle.
    a  Mark on handwheelIf you use threads other than those listed above, the pattern may not turn out correctly.
    CAUTIONAbout the spool of thread
    Information about the spools of thread is described 
    below.
    CAUTION
    a
    ●When threading the upper thread, 
    carefully follow the instructions. If the 
    upper threading is not correct, the thread 
    may become tangled or the needle may 
    bend or break.
    ●The needle threader can be used with a  
    75/11 through 100/16 home sewing 
    machine needle. When using special 
    thread such as transparent nylon thread 
    or metallic thread, the needle threader 
    cannot be used.
    ●Thread with a thickness of 130/120 or 
    thicker cannot be used with the needle 
    threader.
    ●If the needle threader cannot be used, 
    refer to Threading the needle manually 
    (without using the needle threader) (page 
    42).
    ●Never use a thread weight of 20 or lower.
    ●If the spool or the spool cap is not 
    positioned correctly, the thread may 
    become tangled around the spool pin or 
    the needle may break.
    ●Three spool cap sizes are available, 
    allowing you to choose a spool cap that 
    best fits the size of spool being used. If the 
    spool cap is too small for the spool being 
    used, the thread may catch on the slit in 
    the spool or the needle may break.
