Before
you start winding
the
bobbin
remember
that
you need two
threads to
sew
a seam:
an upper
and
a lower
thread.
These
two
threads are
locked
together
in the
middle
of the
fabric
to form
a lock
stitch.
The
seam
produced
in this
way is
illustrated
below.
If
your
seam doesn’t
look like
the illustration,
turn to
page
21.
To
wind
the
bobbin, turn the
machine
on
by
pushing
button
C (page

sewing
mechanism must be
disengaged
