Disengage the sewing mechanism (see page 4) and flick
presser bar lifter to highest position. Raise the spool pins
to the vertical position. Place spool of thread on one of
the spool pins
and set bobbin on bobbin winder
spindle
so that the key at base of spindle enters slot in bobbin,
Threading the Machine
Lead the thread from spool I through both front holes
of thread retainer2
and thence to the bobbin on the
bobbin winder spindle.
Pass end of thread through slot in bobbin, from inside. Press
bobbin
winder lever toward
bobbin and start winding.
Having
wound a few turns,
break off

when bobbin

Since the upper thread is passed through the rear holes
of the four-hole
thread retainer, you can wind the
bobbin from a- second
spool without unthreading the needle.
Before you drop the
machine into
the
cabinet
or place it in the carrying case (portable

the
spool pins should be swung
forward to the horizontal position.
