Operating Instructions

Once the bobbin winder is installed, follow these general steps to wind a bobbin:

1. Place Thread Spool: Place a spool of thread onto the spool pin of your sewing machine.
2. Guide Thread: Guide the thread through the machine's tension disc for bobbin winding. Refer to your sewing machine manual for the correct threading path.
3. Insert Bobbin: Place an empty bobbin onto the bobbin winder spindle.
4. Wrap Thread: Wrap the end of the thread around the bobbin a few times in a clockwise direction.
5. Engage Winder: Push the bobbin winder spindle to the right (or as indicated by your machine) to engage the winding mechanism.
6. Start Winding: Gently press the foot pedal or start button on your sewing machine. The bobbin winder will rotate, filling the bobbin with thread.
7. Monitor Winding: The winder typically has an automatic stop feature that disengages when the bobbin is full. If not, stop winding when the bobbin is adequately filled, ensuring it is not overfilled.
8. Disengage and Remove: Push the bobbin winder spindle back to the left (or disengage as per your machine's design) and remove the filled bobbin. Cut the thread.

Note: Always consult your specific sewing machine's manual for precise bobbin winding instructions, as procedures may vary slightly between models.
