The Jaguar Mini B-2 has an electromechanical control and an oscillating shuttle type, it goes quite smoothly, it treats even delicate fabrics with care. The range of fabrics ranges from leather to silk.

There are 7 types of stitches in the sewing machine options: overcast, blind, zigzag and others. A wide variety of types of stitches will allow you to choose the most optimal sewing option. It is possible to change the stitch length up to 4 mm and the width up to 5 mm. The options are selected using switches.

Knitting loops

The sewing machine has a semiautomatic buttonhole function. When working with rounded garments, it is possible to use a sleeve platform. For ease of use, the machine has simplified the upper threading system. By changing the thread tension and the pressure of the foot on the fabric, needlewomen can easily get smooth and beautiful stitches.

Additionally

The body of the sewing machine is made of white plastic with original floral decoration. There is a special compartment for accessories, built-in lighting lamp.

Supplied with a soft storage case.

Fit well. This company was one of the very first to produce sewing equipment. Thanks to this experience, Jaguar sewing machines have a large arsenal of functions and accessories that even a novice seamstress can handle. The reviews you read about Jaguar can tell you if this is actually the case.

According to the main technical characteristics, they do not differ much from their counterparts. The sewing machine is electromechanical with an oscillating shuttle type.

Equipped with adjustable sewing speed, double needle, double presser foot, reverse button and automatic cut-off mechanism. The size of the buttons is also measured.

The sewing machine is equipped with 16 sewing operations, there are few of them, but they are basic. The machine is also equipped with a sleeve platform, a vertical reel seat, an additional light source and a soft cover.

Jaguar reviews

There are not so many positive reviews about the Jaguar 333 sewing machine, there are often negative reviews. Many were unhappy with the purchase.

Advantages... If you take some time to set up, the machine sews well. The set includes six legs and many stitches. The sewing machine is easily set up, the instructions are detailed. The sewing machine can handle jeans, knitwear, and silk. Relatively low price.

disadvantages... It is advisable to sew only with good imported threads, others may break. The cover is soft and unreliable. The sewing machine is quite loud and vibrates. The pressure of the foot on the fabric is not regulated in any way, which creates certain inconveniences.

According to reviews, the machine does not take thick fabric. The upper thread often gets stuck in the shuttle mechanism, as a result, you have to disassemble and pull it out yourself or call a master.

When buying a Jaguar sewing machine, many broke and failed switches, stitches and upper thread tension adjusters. Also, the tension adjuster is too tight, but this will wear off over time.

Comments... The Jaguar sewing machine is suitable only for beginners who are just trying their hand at sewing and do not want to spend a large amount on a machine. For those who are seriously involved in this and who need quality and reliability, it would be more expedient to spend a little and buy a higher quality model.

Advantages: If you twist a little in the shuttle, it sews well according to your mood. In short, there are almost no merits.
Disadvantages: Wore it three times for repairs, where the master went through and pressed it in the shuttle so that the upper thread would not get stuck there, in short + 2000 to the price. Now I do it myself with varying degrees of success. Does not sew thick fabric, I confirm.
Comment: Now I have found an approach to it, I sew only with very good threads. I do not breathe on her and superstitiously say "Thank you, my beauty!" When it does not fail. A very capricious person. I have had it for five years, during this time I let it down many times, you cannot rely on it. I do not recommend "such happiness" to anyone. And it's a pity to throw it away, and it's difficult to sew.

USER

Advantages: she sews
Disadvantages: very noisy, vibrates like a victim, the needle constantly gets stuck in the fabric, soft case
Commentary: People, beware of such a purchase!

OESTROS
Experience of use: less than a month
Pluses: Sewing machine
Disadvantages: There is no adjustment of the presser foot, which creates great inconvenience. The upper thread tension regulator broke down immediately - without which it is impossible to sew. Replaced. But the seam still jumps: there is no straight line, the thread tension in one line changes regardless of me. Does not take thick fabric, although in the description everything is "OK".
Comment: This is my third car, I have something to compare with, I did not expect such a trick, I was worn out. I do not recommend buying.

USER
Experience of use: less than a month
Advantages: 6 legs included, many stitches
Disadvantages: very noisy
Comment: I bought it yesterday, brought it home and was immediately disappointed. Immediately I was even scared of what a noisy machine, because when buying, I did not understand it was noisy in the store, but at home it seems you can wake up the neighbors if it’s too late to sew. With fast sewing, there is such a vibration that it seems the machine is walking. I didn't even have time to try two stitches, I began to tear the threads and entangle them in the shuttle, because the plates that hold the upper thread (i.e., where the upper thread tension is regulated) are loose and I can’t do anything about it. Have to take to the store. I would be glad to get the money back, but it probably won't work. In general, it is better to take a little more expensive, but cars with a horizontal shuttle. They are quieter. Today I compared by going to another store. But what to repent now.

FIF-BAGA
Experience of use: more than a year
Pluses: Practically none.
Disadvantages: The line switch broke immediately, literally on the day of purchase, which is also very tight. And then, in general, the straight line did not hold, i.e. the machine has completely broken down. Besides, it is quite noisy. Some disappointments in general, I do not recommend this model.

ILONA
Experience of use: more than a year
Advantages: The machine is very convenient and easy to set up, almost no problems arose during the year of operation.
Disadvantages: The backlight will burn out quickly, and from the slightest blow. the machine is lightweight and requires installation on a rigid table.

DEVA0909
Experience of use: more than a year
Advantages: Sews normally, but ...
Disadvantages: Does not sew thick fabric, but that there is thick fabric, does not take chintz in several layers.
And yes it makes noise, it's just my first machine and I had nothing to compare with.

USER
Experience of use: less than a month
Disadvantages: FIF-Baga correctly say that the stitch switch is very tight, but it was not necessary to rape it so that it broke. I'm not very comfortable either, but I try to be gentle. On some tricky stitches, the thread skips and is not sewn. It is still not very clear how to change the paws, and nothing is written in the instructions. Otherwise, everything is fine, for now ...

MARINA
Experience of use: several months
Advantages: sews accurately, copes with jeans, knitwear, and silk.

The mechanism of the JAGUAR sewing machine differs from the mechanisms of other models produced at that time. Let's see how it works.

In fig. 1 shows a front view. Here: 1. machine switch for three positions - from right to left - off, average speed, maximum speed; 2. Regulator of stitch length; 3. Knob for stitch selection; 4. Upper thread tension regulator (RNVN); 5. Removable pencil case.

Stitch length dial permanently spring loaded upwards. There is a thread on its shaft, along which, when rotating, the adjusting nut moves. When turned clockwise, the nut moves deeper into the machine, thereby reducing the stitch length. In the same way as on Podolsk 2M or Chaika 3, only there is an arbitrary installation due to a disk washer.

Automation handle switches with a click, stitch width changes in the same way with a click, that is, by a certain distance. There is no separate width adjuster in this machine.

Let's go further, the side of the car has a socket for connecting to a 220V network. The number 1 marks the hole through which, on some models of machines, we have access to the fastening of the stitch length adjuster lever. see fig. 2. Flywheel does not have a friction mechanism, so it is not particularly convenient to wind the thread on the spool on this machine. The pedal jack is also not visible.

The rear view is shown in fig. 3. At the very bottom there is a plate with information about the machine. Almost all the holes are closed with plugs, but for disassembly we will need to unscrew only the ones marked with the number 1. On the machine stand you can see the fastening device, the reel seat is inserted into it.
In work, sometimes it is required to flash something narrow. On this car pencil case very easy to remove, just slide it to the left. It also needs to be removed to replace the bobbin, as it blocks access to the bobbin.

Figure 5 shows a close-up of the machine control knobs. The arrow on the shuttle shows the place where the needle hits if the adjustment is incorrect or there is a large backlash in the mechanism for transferring motion from the main shaft to the shuttle.

Damage to the hook by the needle is common in this model. If this happens, then the machine immediately started skipping, tearing the upper thread.

The upper thread clings to the sharp edges of the potholes, which also does not make the machine work well.

If you suddenly have to disassemble such a model, then pay attention to Figure 6.
This is how the hex screwdriver should be inserted into the bolt of the stitch adjustment knob.

Sometimes the fastening mechanism looks to the right with its bolt, then the screw driver must be inserted into the hole from the right side.

Attention! Do not try to disassemble body products until you unscrew the fastening screw and remove the stitch length knob.

Before we begin to disassemble the JAGUAR sewing machine, you must:
- remove the needle;
- remove the foot. Here the foot with the holder is made as a whole;
- remove the stitch plate by unscrewing the two screws. On this machine we need a Phillips screwdriver.

1. Mounting screw; 2. Needle plate; 3. Needle holder; 4. Needle clamp screw; 5. Foot; 6. Screw for attaching the foot.

Figure 7 shows the same assembly, only with parts removed.

If you have the same machine, and not only this one, after you have removed the stitch plate for cleaning, maintenance, etc. - check the tightness fabric conveyor... The fastening screws are indicated here as 5.

The feed (4) itself must be exactly in the middle of the slot in the throat plate and be strictly parallel to the edges of the hole. If this rule is not observed (fulfilled), then it is necessary to loosen the fastening screws, achieve the above and tighten both screws tightly.
Well, now let's look at the reason for the owner of the mini Jaguar sewing machine for repair. Figure 8 shows a close-up shuttle... Here we see that the hook surface at the needle entry point and gripping the needle thread with the hook nose very badly damaged. This shuttle needs to be changed. But since the shuttle here has a thinner working surface, it will not work with another machine model. I had to restore this shuttle. If possible, large potholes were removed, all edges and edges were rounded and polished, the nose of the shuttle was polished, but until the whole machine was assembled, it was not possible to check the operation of the shuttle.

After unscrewing all (four) screws marked with 1 in fig. 3 you need to lift the front cover and remove the connectors shown in fig. 9. The wires in the blue connector lead to the speed switch and will prevent us from removing the front cover.

In Figure 10, we see two halves of the sewing machine.

Attention. When assembling back the body products, be careful when inserting the bolts (self-tapping screws) into place. They can fall into the case and you will have to disassemble everything again.

Figure 11 shows a close-up thread take-up unit... If you have already dealt with sewing machines, you will notice that the thread take-up unit here is different from other machines. The thread take-up unit itself stands at one end on the axis in the machine body, and its groove is put on the crank axis. At this point, the thread take-up can generate a groove in the axle, then knocking and backlash will appear in operation.

1. Needle bar. 2. Needle bar fixing screw. 3. Connecting arm. 4. Crank 5. Thread take-up 6. Eccentric of the main shaft. 7. Screw that secures the connecting arm and needle bar frame. At this point, the needle bar is adjusted in the lateral position.

Machine rack details are shown in Figure 12.

1. Control board
2. Electric drive
3. Worm
4. Mechanism of automation.

Since the machine had a strong backlash in the shuttle drive, it was necessary to remove the board with the transformer, it was screwed on with two screws, see fig. 13 to gain access to the underside of the machine.

Now access to the details is open, first we will consider the details of the table on the left side. see fig. fourteen.

Bobbin case fastened to the back of the machine. Access is closed with a plug. Shuttle pusher (2) driven by a toothed rack (4)

Shuttle differs from similar ones on modern machines both by the method of fastening, and by the size, and by the motion drive. The rail moves straight to the left - to the right. The position of the rack sets the course of the machine.

1. Shuttle body; 2. Shuttle pusher; 3. Pusher spring; 4. Gear rack; 5.Flip cover of the shuttle compartment; 6. Mounting bracket; 7. Locking ring latches; 8. Conveyor lift shaft.

If we look at the car to the right. then we will see the adjusting unit and the right end of the conveyor lift shaft. To the right, a clip adhered to the engine housing, which flew off the axis of the connecting lever, transmitting movement from the main shaft to the gear shaft.
Attention. Here is the reason for the breakdown. There was a backlash and, accordingly, malfunctions, a clip fell off and a backlash appeared.

By releasing the adjusting screw, you can change the position of the lower end of the connecting lever, respectively, the time of approach of the hook nose to the needle changes.

In Figure 16, you can see in more detail the structure and operation of parts in the machine rack.

Link arm (1) swings on the axle (2). The stroke is adjusted by changing the position of the lower end of the connecting lever, which transfers the movement to the gear shaft (5). Below the bolt (3) there is a pin on which the end of the conveyor lift shaft (4) rests.

To the right, you can see the propeller arm (fork). This fork is responsible for transmitting the movement of the tissue conveyor. In the upper part it rests on the advancement eccentric, then through the stone it is connected to the stitch length regulator link and, at the very bottom, to the crank of the fabric conveyor motor shaft.

To get a better look stitch length adjustment unit remove the limiting bar, look
figure 17

1. Regulator link; 2. Stone; 3. Lever; 4. Fixing screw; 5. Hole of the adjustment knob; 6. Promotional eccentric.
By changing the position of the lever (3), the position of the regulator wings changes. The stone in the curtain begins to move along a different profile and, accordingly, the stitch length changes.

Swinging the lever (1) Figure 16, grasping it at the bottom, it is possible to determine if there is any backlash in the motion transmission system from the main shaft to the shuttle. If there is a decent backlash in this place, then it needs to be eliminated. The fact is that in the upper part this lever has a cylinder that runs in the groove of a large cylinder fixed to the main shaft, see Figures 18 and 19.

These figures show a device for converting the movement of rotation of the main shaft into translational (linear) movements of the gear rack. The worm (1) of the automation mechanism is also very clearly visible, which is fastened with screws (2) (Fig. 18)

In Figure 19, circuit 1 marks the control mechanism for almost all parts of the bottom of the machine. We can clearly see the groove (2) for the connecting arm. The bearing (5) of the main shaft (4) is secured with a screw (6)

The part highlighted by the outline consists of several parts, made as a whole. Do not touch it unless there is an urgent need.

The left main shaft is shown in Figure 20. Main shaft (1) is adjusted with an adjusting washer (2), which is secured with screws (3). Main shaft eccentric (4) is attached to the main shaft with a pin (5). The screw (6), with the help of which the movement is transmitted to the thread take-up (7), is painted over with paint so that it is not touched again and also so that it does not self-unscrew. The connecting lever (8) with a crank moves in the thread take-up and on the cylinder; after prolonged operation, a groove may form and a backlash appears, which can be eliminated by bending the thread take-up.

When we looked at the case from the back side, we agreed that we only tighten the screws (1), why? Because from the inside, they can end with a pin or an axis, as in Figure 21, positions 1 and 2. The connecting lever (3) on the axis (2) must not have any play and must be fastened with a clip that flew off and stuck to the engine. Due to this, a backlash appeared, the stroke changed and the needle broke the shuttle. The gear lever (4) on the right side had no backlash. We rise higher - an adjustment knot, everything is fine here too. A little higher is the axis, after fixing this unit with a clip, it also began to function normally. If the backlash between the cylinder and the groove in the main shaft cylinder, then you can get rid of it by bending the upper end of the lever towards you.
The advance shaft (5), due to the crank (6), transfers the movement to the tissue conveyor using the fork (9).
Presser bar (7) This car is black. The thread take-up is very visible (8)

The drive unit of this sewing machine is shown in Figure 22. Here: 1. motor; 2. fastening screws; 3. toothed belt; 4. Gear; 5. Bracket
Installation of this unit on the machine is not difficult, it is just necessary to withstand the condition of ease of movement and absence of backlash.

Reinstalling the parts that were removed, I think, will not be difficult for you. I put everything in place. The course in this car was selected individually, it turned out to be approximately
2.45 mm. I installed the front cover by connecting the electrical wiring and tried to flash it on this machine, you will see the result in Fig. 23

As it turned out, the elimination of the backlash in the machine parts and the restoration of the shuttle led to a good result.

P.S. What I would like to say in conclusion - this machine is very delicate, of course you can sew even rough fabrics, but not worth it. It is easy to move it to any place, work on it and remove it, it will not take up much space. The low sewing speed and the absence of a pedal are not very depressing. There are exactly the same machines with a power button on the sleeve and a pedal-button. For a good, permanent job, if someone sews at home, it will not work.
required.

Fitting the hem of the dress, shortening the trousers for the child - all this and much more can be done by a sewing machine. She can become a real helper for any housewife. You don't need to run to the studio every time, you can sew everything up yourself. The Jaguar sewing machine is one of the possible choices. For more than half a century, the enterprise Jaguar International Corporation released almost 3 hundred different models. It will take too long to tell about everyone. Therefore, let's pay attention to individual models that have won the maximum popularity and love among buyers.

Company history

The year of work began in 1949. It was in this year that a company called Maruzen Mischin Company opened. She was engaged in the wholesale of sewing machines and accessories for them. After 3 years, the company offered the first models that were able to sew not only a straight line, but also a zigzag.

Over time, the company's products are gaining momentum. Thanks to this, the activities of the company did not go unnoticed. This is how foreign partners appeared. Together with the American company Sears, the Jaguar trademark became known all over the world.

By the end of the 80s, production increased to 7 million copies per year. During this time, the company changed its name to Jagyar Sewing Machines Company. His activity continues to this day.

Types of cars

The company currently offers 270 different models. All of them are conventionally divided into three categories:

• Budget... The Jaguar sewing machine belonging to this class is capable of performing the simplest operations (straight and blind stitches, zigzag, sewing on buttons, darning). There are about 20 of them in total. For a housewife who uses a typewriter for household purposes, this is quite enough. All models in this group are easy to use and intuitive. They work reliably and reliably.

• Higher, which are used by professionals. They are easy-to-use machines, the functionality of which has practically no boundaries. In addition to the simplest tasks, these models are able to overcast buttonholes, sew decorative and seams, embroider and so on. The sewing quality is enhanced by the horizontal hook. By the way, this makes threading easier. The built-in computer will help you set up and adjust all the necessary options. Automation helps to work. Thanks to this, even a beginner can handle the machine.

• Portable models suitable for continuous movement. Cars of this class are easily transported due to their small size.

Each group is represented by a large number of various models that differ in their characteristics and capabilities. The most popular models are discussed below.

Budget models

The Jaguar sewing machine of this category is easy to use. The low cost makes it affordable for every family. The most popular models in this group are the following machines:

• Jaguar 312. Electromechanical model with swinging shuttle. The capabilities of the device allow you to sew such stitches as blind, stretch, overlock and overlock. The feet for the Jaguar 312 sewing machine expand the functionality of the technique. Thanks to them, you can sew in zippers (including hidden ones), overcast edges and much more. The sewing speed is infinitely variable. For convenience, there is a reverse button. The machine weighs about 7 kg with dimensions 35x26x12 cm.There is an additional compartment for storing small items.

• Jaguar 316. The machine is capable of performing all standard stitches and additional stitches at the expense of the feet. The pressure of the foot can be adjusted. Unlike the previous model, it has LED lighting of the workflow and a slightly wider width (35x26x16 cm).

• Jaguar 551. The machine performs 14 operations. At the same time, it is distinguished by the vertical placement of the shuttle, LED lighting, and a free sleeve. The most important feature is that the model is more compact, but has a greater weight compared to other models (7.8 kg).

• Jaguar 745. Performs standard stitching, quilting, and zippers. Determines the size of the buttons. Electromechanical control. LED lightening. The working surface expands due to the table, which is included in the machine kit.

• Jaguar 777 differs from previous models in a more convenient arrangement of control buttons. Another difference is the horizontal shuttle. It is possible to turn off the bottom rail. For the convenience of work, there is an electronic pedal, thanks to which you can adjust the operating speed. Buttonholes are performed in automatic mode. In addition, it is possible to sew with a twin needle.

• Sewing machine Jaguar 791 differs in a large number of tasks performed. There are 40 options in total. You can even insert rivets with it. Due to this, this model can be considered the most functional among the entire group. It is convenient and comfortable to work on it even with delicate fabrics due to the location of the shuttle. In this case, it is not necessary to lubricate it. Many operations are carried out automatically (needle positioner, reverse). The machine weighs a little more than 11 kg with dimensions 41x17x30 cm.

This is just a small list of models popular with buyers. It can be continued for a very long time.

Professional machines

• Jaguar 977 performs 28 operations, 13 lines. The foot rises to a height of 9 mm. The maximum sewing speed reaches 600 stitches in one minute. The shuttle is horizontal rotary. The lower conveyor is seven-segment. The machine consumes 75 watts. The dimensions of the machine do not differ from those for other models. The weight is 8 kg.

• Jaguar 979. Performs 40 operations, 5 types of stitches. Possibilities are increased by the three legs included in the kit. Electromechanical control. LED illumination of the workspace.

• Jaguar 6434. It features fully electronic control. The shuttle is vertical. Weighs only 5.7 kg. Dimensions - 28x17x38 cm.

By choosing one of these models, we can safely say that all the necessary tasks will be completed without additional effort and time.

Portable cars

This group includes those machines that are small in size.

The Jaguar Mini 271 sewing machine has a standard set of options. However, it weighs only 4.2 kg.

Additional accessories

The sewing machine "Jaguar", regardless of belonging to a particular group, is completed with additional elements. This includes the cover with which the machine is closed during storage. It allows you to protect against dust, mechanical damage. In many models, it is made of soft fabric. Some models boast a hard case.

Most machines have a special compartment for storing small parts that should be always at hand. It is usually located on the front of the machine, next to the hook location.

There is a handle on top of the machine that allows you to move the device to any place convenient for work.

To highlight the workflow, many models have additional lighting. It is represented by LED bulbs.

The electric pedal allows you to adjust the working speed. In this case, the hands remain free.

Many parts are made of plastic. Therefore, they can fail under heavy loads. In such situations, repair of the Jaguar sewing machine will be required.

Working on a typewriter

the instruction supplied with each sewing machine "Jaguar" will allow you to understand the basics of working with the technique. In it you can find the rules for threading the upper thread, installing the needle, winding the thread on the shuttle spool. In addition, the instructions indicate all the main types of options to be performed. An indication is given of how and for what each of them is performed. Therefore, the instructions must be read before starting to work with the machine. And in the future it is better to keep it nearby.

Sewing machine "Jaguar": price

The Jaguar company offers a wide range of products in different price categories. So, some models can be purchased for 3 thousand rubles. And there are models that cost about 15 thousand rubles.

Models with electromechanical control cost about 4 thousand rubles and more. Prices for electronically controlled goods start at 9,000 rubles. The most expensive are computer-controlled cars. They start at 11 thousand rubles.

Sewing machine "Jaguar": reviews

Buyers leave completely different reviews for the range of products of this company. Some models cause rave opinions among the majority of users. Others, on the other hand, make you regret making a purchase.

First of all, users highlight affordability in terms of price, ease of operation, quiet sound, light weight and size. Some models allow you to cut the thread immediately when the stitching ends. It is very convenient. The instructions are written in clear language. The abundance of drawings allows you to figure out on your own how to use the product. The machines are capable of working with most fabrics, even delicate or dense ones.

The Jaguar 333 sewing machine received a lot of negative reviews. It is recommended to work on it using strong threads, as they often break. The upper thread often gets caught in the hook. To fix this, you need to constantly disassemble the machine. Inconvenience in the work is caused by the foot, which is not adjustable. The “disease” of this model is breakage of the stitch switches and thread tensioners.

Conclusion

Analyzing the reviews, we can come to the conclusion that "Jaguar" is a typewriter for novice seamstresses and household work. They are hardly suitable for professional craftswomen. And this applies not only to budget options, but also to more expensive models with a large number of options.

3. Insert the plug of the power cord into the socket of the machine 15 and plug the power cord into a power outlet.

How to operate the Mini Jaguar sewing machine.
a) Set the speed range switch to the "High" or "Low" position.
b) If the machine has a Start / Stop switch, set it to the Start position. c) Step on the pedal with your foot to drive the machine. Take your foot off the pedal to stop.
Caution: If you have to stop working or sewing for a long time, unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the machine stops due to the thread being caught in the shuttle, for safety reasons, the power supply is cut off automatically for 20-30 seconds. To resume work, after a 3-minute break, turn on the power switch again.

Removing the Extendable Table / Accessory Drawer. The slide-out table can be removed by moving to the left. When installing, move the table back until the pins enter the holes in the machine body. You can open the accessory box by lifting the lid up and back.

Bobbin case. Open the bobbin cover by pulling it downward. Use your index finger and thumb to grasp the bobbin case latch. Pull the bobbin case towards you. When the latch is lifted up, the bobbin will fall out of the bobbin case by itself.

Winding the thread onto the bobbin

Place the felt disc on the spool pin and place the bobbin on the spool pin. Pass the thread from the spool through the thread tension to the bobbin. Pull the end of the thread through the hole in the bobbin. Place the bobbin on the winder shaft so that the end of the thread comes out slightly from the bobbin. Move the winder bar to the right until it clicks.

Start the machine with the speed switch in the Low or High position. After a few turns of the bobbin, release the thread. Note: keep your hands away from the needle when the machine is running. When the bobbin stops turning with the thread wound, turn off the power. To remove the bobbin, slide the bobbin pin to the left.

Installing the bobbin into the bobbin case. You need to set the bobbin with your right hand, so that the thread moves clockwise. Insert the bobbin into the bobbin case so that the thread comes out about 10 cm. Draw the thread through the slit in the bobbin case, and then thread it under the flat tension spring.

Installing the bobbin case into the hook. Take the bobbin case by the latch. Move the bobbin case to the middle spindle of the bobbin. Note: Make sure the locating pin is fully seated in the locating slot on the top of the bobbin.

Release the latch to lock the bobbin case. Raise the presser foot lever. Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the handwheel toward you. Thread the upper thread in the following order, according to this pattern.

Threading the upper thread

Raise the presser foot lever so that the thread can pass between the upper thread tension discs. Raise the take-up lever to its highest position by turning the handwheel toward you. Holding the end of the thread with your right hand, pull the thread through the thread guides as shown. Thread the thread in the take-up lever from left to right.
