CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Bobbin Case

Thread wax and dust easily collect around the notch in
the tension spring on the bobbin case, resulting in an
incorrect thread tension. Therefore, the bobbin case
should be cleaned as necessary should tension
problems arise.
When cleaning the bobbin case, use business card
stock or another type of paper of similar thickness and
sturdiness in order to prevent pieces of paper tearing off
and getting lodged in the bobbin case.
a
Follow steps from "Cleaning the Race" on
page 138 to remove the bobbin case.
b
Using a piece of paper of adequate thickness
and sturdiness, slide the paper between the
tension plate base and the tension spring and
also slide the paper behind the notch of the
spring to remove any dirt or dust.
