• Bobbin Winder

Once you have threaded the bobbin, you can place it in its place. Then you must place the see-through cover on it. This cover will allow you to know beforehand when the thread is finished. To draw up the thread from the bobbin, just simply raise the presser foot lifter.

Then turn the switch of the machine on. From here, hold the needle thread in between your fingers and at the same time, press the up/down needle button two times. This will allow the bobbin to pick the thread up.

To bring a loop of bobbin thread, simply draw up the needle thread. Slide around four inches of both threads under the presser foot and enjoy sewing.

• Needle Threader
