01Troubleshooting guide
Bobbin thread will not come up: step-by-step checks
The upper thread must travel around the hook and catch the bobbin thread. A wrong needle, bobbin direction or handwheel movement can interrupt that path.
02
Most likely causes
- The needle is not fully inserted or faces the wrong direction.
- The bobbin or bobbin case is not seated as shown in the manual.
- The handwheel was turned away from the operator or the upper thread is not held.
03Step
Check in this order
- 01Step 1
Switch off and confirm the correct needle is fully inserted with its flat side in the manual’s direction.
- 02Step 2
Remove and reinstall the correct bobbin, following the case or drop-in threading guide.
- 03Step 3
Thread the upper path with the presser foot raised and leave a 10–15 cm tail under the foot.
- 04Step 4
Hold the upper tail gently and turn the handwheel one complete turn toward you, then pull the loop through.
04
What should restore normal sewing
The bobbin loop should rise through the needle-plate opening without force.
Place both tails behind the foot before the test seam.
