3. Thread guide and Spool pins
The machine bears two thread guides. The thread guides are to direct the thread all its way to the needle and give then the support for the necessary tension required in the thread to have a perfect stitch. To the top right corner of the machine, is the first thread guide. This thread guide helps the thread coming from the spool of thread to follow the direction which takes it to the tension control and provides it with the necessary height.
The second thread guide is nothing but a hook-like structure that we call the thread guide because it also directs the thread to the fine gaps leading the thread to the needle. It also makes the thread change its direction as the thread follows a straight path along the edge from the first thread guide. Spool pins are nothing but two cylindrical structures similar that hold the spool of thread. Two spool pins are made available for you to select and change the thread of your interest as and when required. Before inserting the spool of thread on the spool pin place a spool pin felt on the spool pin to give support the spool of thread you are going to place on the pin.

5. Bobbin winding spindle
As discussed in the earlier section, place the spool of thread you want to wind the bobbin with for your project; follow the directions and form a loop around the tension control by obeying the arrows mention on the machine. Once the thread is back from the tension control, hold the tip of the thread and put it in the hole on the “class 15” bobbin. There are two holes on the top and bottom of the “class 15” bobbin. You may put the thread in any of the provided holes. Properly hold the tip of the thread, ensure that the bobbin is placed at the bottom of the spindle and slide the bobbin to the right. Now press the foot control and allow the thread to go round the bobbins. Once the thread is able to wrap itself on the bobbin cut the tip of the thread passed through the the the the the the the hole, which you were holding. Now you may again place some more thread around the bobbin as per your need. That’s it!!! Your bobbin is now ready.

9. Removable storage compartment & bobbin case
The compartment is appropriate for storing things like needles, threads, zipper foot, and the buttonhole foot as well. Once you remove the removable storage compartment, there is the bobbin case where you put your bobbin in. As we have seen how to wrap up the bobbin with the thread, now it’s time to place the bobbin in the bobbin holder. Open the flap to see the bobbin case placed as shown in the above picture. Lift up the latch on the bobbin holder and pull out the bobbin holder outside.
Hold the tip of the thread on the bobbin you have prepared earlier and placed the bobbin In the bobbin holder. Check the direction of the thread. Put the tip of the thread in the notch on the upper edge of the bobbin holder. Direct the tip behind the metal flap until it comes out form the large opening which is a U-shaped opening in the middle of the metal flap. To place the bobbin back to its space again lift up the latch and carefully place the bobbin in its vacant place properly according to the shape of
the bobbin holder or the bobbin case. Make sure that that head is placed properly as it should not get tangled within itself.
