Put your empty bobbin on the top metal knob and wind the tread from the back of the machine through the little hole in the bobbin and wind it around a few times. Click the bobbin on the knob towards the right. Press down on the pedal and let the thread wind on. Once the bobbin is full, flip the knob back to the left and rethread your needle. Put the bobbin in its holster and make sure the thread goes around the little metal piece and let it hang out to the side. Then, start turning the big white knob on the side towards you. This will catch the bobbin thread and you can pull it up and out of the little hole under the needle. Slide the metal cover back on and you’re all set!
bonne chance!
