Sewing hook-and-loop
fastener
Note
● Before start sewing, baste together the fabric
and the hook-and-loop fastener.
Make sure that the needle passes through the hook-
and-loop fastener by turning the handwheel and
lower the needle into the hook-and-loop fastener
before sewing. And then, sew the edge of the hook-
and-loop fastener at a slow speed.
If the needle does not pass through the hook-and-
loop fastener, replace the needle with the needle for
thick fabrics (page 30).

Pulling up the bobbin thread

upper thread and can be pulled up.
d
Carefully pull the upper thread upward to pull
out the end of the bobbin thread.
e
Pull out about 10 cm (4 inches) of the bobbin
thread under the presser foot toward the rear
of the machine.
f
Reattach the bobbin cover.
Insert the tab in the lower-left corner of the
bobbin cover (A), and then lightly press down
on the right side (B).
● Use only the ungummed hook-and-loop
fastener which is for sewing. If the glue is
attached to the needle or the bobbin hook
race, it may cause malfunction.
● If the hook-and-loop fastener is sewn with the
thin needle (65/9-75/11), the needle may
bend or break.
