Hour glass block added to design

Blocks sewn into sections
I took the thread out of the needle,
which is recommend to prevent the
needle from bending and snapping
in two while the bobbin is winding.
It’s never a good thing to have sharp
objects flying around!
Then, I thread the thread back up the
left hand thread guide of the machine
and through the bobbin guide at the
top. Also, make sure the presser foot is
in the up position.

Once the bobbin is in place, a “wind
bobbin” message comes up on the
screen. I clicked start with the stylet.
Pressing the foot pedal does not work; it
just makes the needle go up and down
– I did that first.
I love this feature of not having to unthread the machine to wind another
bobbin.
Reverse back tacking
Since the bobbin ran out in the middle of the seam, I wanted to back tack
to make sure nothing comes apart
down the road. Normally, in quilting,
there is not much back tacking done
because seams are usually caught
with another seam.
To back tack, press the reverse button,
which is found at the bottom of the
machine near the presser foot. It only
needs to be pressed a couple seconds
then continue sewing forward.
