How do I wind the Bobbin on my Ambition Machine?Updated 3 months ago

You have several ways to wind the bobbin on your PFAFF Ambition machine that add to your creative enjoyment! 

Winding From Horizontal Position 

1. Place the felt pad and thread spool on the spool pin in horizontal position. Slide on a spool cap of the right type and direction. 

2. Place the thread under the thread guide (A) from right to left. Pull the thread to the rear and around the thread guide (B) from left to right. 

3. Pull thread to the right and then through the thread guide (C) from back to front. Pass thread under tension disc (D) in counterclockwise direction. 

Note: Make sure the thread is pulled securely inside the tension disc for correct thread tension. 

4. Thread through the hole in the empty bobbin (E) from the inside to the outside. 

5. Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder spindle. 

6. Push the bobbin lever to the right to wind. A pop-up appears on the screen to inform you that bobbin winding is active. Press the foot control or the start/ stop button to start winding the bobbin. Hold the end of the thread firmly when starting to wind. When the bobbin is full, release the foot control or press the start/stop button again to stop. Push the bobbin lever to the left. The pop-up closes. Remove the bobbin and cut the thread using the bobbin thread cutter (F) 

Winding Through the Needle 

Make sure that the presser foot is raised, and the needle is in its highest position. 

1. Bring the thread up from the needle, under the presser foot, upward through the left-hand threading slot and through the bobbin thread guide (A). 

2. Pull thread to the right and then through the thread guide (C) from back to front. Pass thread under tension disc (D) in counterclockwise direction. 

Note: Make sure the thread is pulled securely inside the tension disc for correct thread tension.
