If you are using Rayon thread, you might consider lowering the maximum speed slightly. • Hoop two layers of backing on a 30 x 44cm or larger hoop. • Check the upper thread paths (that the machine is threaded correctly, thread is under thread feed rollers, there is no thread wrapped around the tops of the thread cones). • Insert the bobbin, with the bobbin tension set so that when you gently bounce the bobbin case – holding the thread with your fingers – it should drop 2-4 inches / 50-100mm. • T
