thread change
If a thread is already threaded it is very easy to change to another thread
of a different color or with different characteristics.
Cut off the old thread at the thread reel. Tie the new thread to the old
thread. Carefully pull the old thread out of the machine until the new thread
reaches the needle.
Information on adjusting the needle thread tension is provided in
Section 5.8.2 Setting the needle thread tension.
The procedure for dealing with a thread breakage is described in
Section 5.8.7 Sewing after thread breakage.
5.2.5 Inserting/changing the bobbin
The bobbin is fitted under the sewing material support. The hook thread is
wound onto this, Section 5.8.1 Winding the hook thread. You use the
Bobbin menu to fit or replace a bobbin. The Bobbin menu opens auto-
matically when the bobbin counter has decremented to zero.
You have two possible courses of action when the Bobbin menu auto-
matically opens:
• The bobbin is almost empty - you must replace the bobbin.
• The bobbin is not yet empty - you enter a new number of stitches
into the bobbin counter and continue sewing until the Bobbin
menu automatically opens again.
The number of stitches to be entered depends on the characteristics of the
thread and the material being sewn. More information on this is provided
below and in Section 5.6.2 Setting the bobbin counter.
