E. Helpful Hints
1. If your sewing appears as shown in the
illlustration, stitches on top side of fabric are
good but bottom side has loose thread loops, it
could be that the upper thread is not threaded
correctly. Refer to page 32 for correct threading.
2. If after checking the top thread and the bobbin
thread is still showing on the top side, check the
bobbin to see if it is set correctly. Refer to page
30 for correct bobbin setting.
