Pulling Up the Bobbin Thread
There may be some sewing applications where
you want to pull up the bobbin thread; for
example, when making gathers, darts, or doing
free motion quilting or embroidery.
Guide the bobbin thread through the
groove, following the arrow in the
illustration.
* Do not cut the thread with the cutter.
* Do not replace the bobbin cover.
While holding the upper thread, press the
“Needle Position” button to lower the
needle.

Gently pull the upper thread. A loop of the
bobbin thread will come out of the hole in
the needle plate.
Pull up the bobbin thread, pass it under the
presser foot and pull it about
100 mm (approx. 3-4 inches) toward the
back of the machine, making it even with
the upper thread.
