back, it will run idle. Therefore, be sure to insert it by
turning clockwise when seen from behind the bobbin case.
⑥ Pure Stitch

B. Pull out the lower thread from the groove of the bobbin
case, and then thread it through the thread hole passing ② ①
below the tension spring . Take out about 40mm of the
thread through the thread hole for Whip Stitch, and take out
the same length through the thread hole for Pure Stitch.

Whip Stitch (Plain Stitch) ④

Whip Stitch is a stitching type that the upper thread moves ⑤
③
vertically on the sewing material with the zigzag shape. This
type is the same thing with the zigzag type of the drop feed [ Fig. 10 ]
zigzag machine.
