TO WIND THE BOBBIN

Unlock the balance wheel with thumb and forefinger of the right hand by drawing the key (12) out and turning it part round (this will prevent the machine from wearing, and save the trouble and annoyance of unthreading it, and removing the work while the bobbin is being filled).

Then swing the bobbin winder until it is in position and presses firmly against the wheel.

Place the spool of thread to be wound from on the spindle (80), and put the bobbin in bobbin winder.

Pass the thread from the spool, once around the tension screw (104) as shown in cut, thence down between the bobbin winder frame and wire guide at (A), then through slot (B) at bottom of thread guide, then into V-shaped slot of thread guide at (C).

To secure the end of the thread preparatory to winding, place it between the head of the bobbin and its socket at the right hand. Proceed as in sewing.

When the bobbin has been filled, swing the winder from wheel and turn back the key (12) until it enters the hole and engages the balance wheel.
