Making a bobbin with the HZL-80H sewing machine:

To start sewing, you need to place your bobbin in your machine to solidify your seam and for this you must already know how to make a bobbin with the thread of the color of your choice.

We also offer you an explanatory video for better following of the tutorial.

Step 1: First make sure your sewing machine is plugged in and then place the original spool containing the thread you want to use on the spool pin.

Step 2: Now you will come to take the thread that you will pass through the path (phase 2 and 3), then in the small hole of your bobbin (and not the opening of the bobbin) as shown in the images below.

Step 3: Next, place the bobbin on its holder while holding the thread. Make sure you have tilted the bobbin to the right.

Step 4: From there, you will press (hold) your pedal while still holding the bobbin thread and there you have it, your thread will wind itself around your bobbin!

Once you've wound halfway down your bobbin, cut the thread you were holding and continue while holding your foot pedal. When you're finished, cut the thread connecting to the spool.

Step 5: Now you will take the thread from your original spool and pass it through the thread guide of your machine. Then, use the automatic needle threader to pass the thread through the eye of your needle and then pass your thread through the slot of the presser foot to free up your sewing space.

Step 6: Next, remove the bobbin cover. Place your bobbin with the loose end of the thread that you are going to thread through the path as shown in the image below and then replace the cover.

At stage C, make sure the wire is cut.

Step 7: Finally, feed the fabric under the presser foot and press the top button twice, which will lower and raise the needle to collect the bobbin thread. As you pull the fabric away, the thread will come loose from the fabric.
