How do I draw up the bobbin thread on a dressmaker?
I have a 998B dressmaker and the directions for drawing up the bobbin thread are extremely vague. I do not understand what "lightly draw the needle thread forming a loop with the bobbin thread" means.
Should the thread from the bobbin be pulled toward the plate on top of it? Because there is absolutely no way the thread can be caught its not logically possible.
After you have placed the bobbin and left a few inches of thread outside the bobbin and have threaded the top needle and pulled about 6 inches of thread through it, hold the top thread very loosely and turn the machine by hand so the needle goes down. Keep turning until the needle rises again and if you then pull lightly on the needle thread, it will pull the bobbin thread up with it. Gently pull both threads together until there are about 6 inches of both showing. Don't pull hard or you can bend the needle. Place the fabric to be sewn under the needle, lower the pressure foot, and for the first couple of stitches, hold both those threads or they'll get sucked back down and cause a tangle. You don't have to "form the loop" they're talking about. That's kind of poor wording. The top thread grabs the bobbin thread and forms the loop for you.
