6 - Easy Stitch
Bottom Threading Instructions:
1. Press the shuttle cover button (25) at the rear
of the machine to release the shuttle cover plate
(22) and remove.
2. Release approximately 13 centimetres/4-5
inches of thread from the bobbin.
3. Place the bobbin inside the magnetised
compartment with the loose thread laid
clockwise towards the front of the machine.
4. Turn the hand wheel (4) in the direction of the
arrow (anti clockwise) until the needle descends
into the foot-well.
5. Continue to slowly turn the hand wheel until
you notice the thread on the bottom spool run
across the bobbin.
6. Continue to turn the hand wheel until the needle
ascends. You should now be able to notice the
bottom thread looped over the top thread.
7. Stop turning the hand wheel and carefully pull the
threads towards you. This will result in the bottom
thread coming up through the foot plate (19).
Place both top and bottom threads towards the
rear of the machine under the foot holder (17).
Please note: You may need to repeat steps 4-6 a few times to
achieve the looping.

8 - Easy Stitch
As shown in the diagram below, normal stitching has top and bottom
threading.
If the bottom threading looks like a straight line, this indicates the top
thread is too loose. Please turn the thread clamp clockwise to increase
pressure until the stitching returns to normal.
However, when the top thread looks like a straight line indicating an over-
tight top thread, slowly turn the thread clamp anti clockwise to reduce
pressure until the stitching is back to normal.
Please Note: When adjusting the stitching, check whether
the top thread has come out. If so, replace back into position.
