You will find a box of pre-wound bobbins on the Bobbin Stand itself or on the storage shelf. If there are fewer than 10 bobbins in this box, please let the PoC know so that more may be ordered. Please do not use bobbins that were not purchased pre-wound on the Barudan.


Step 1: Check to be sure that there is no dust or thread inside the shaft of the bobbin book assembly.

Step 2: Hold the bobbin case with the front side down and the opening closest to your body.
