How do I wind the bobbin on my PFAFF Select Machine?Updated 3 months ago
Your Pfaff Select Line Machine allows you to wind bobbins with ease with three different ways to do so.
Preparing the machine for bobbin winding
Hold the handwheel (4) firmly and turn the handwheel release disc (3) until it stops in the direction of the arrow. This stops the needle from moving while the machine is winding the bobbin.
1. Turn OFF the power switch. Place the empty bobbin so that the small pin (A) of the bobbin winder (6) snaps into the slot of the bobbin. The PFAFF® logo is facing up.
2. Push the bobbin to the right.
Note: The bobbin can only be wound when it is moved fully to the right
3. Place the sewing thread on the spool pin (9). To guarantee free movement of the thread and to give additional hold to the thread spool, fit a spool cap corresponding to the size of the thread spool.
4. Place the thread into guide A and pull it through opening B and to the right under the hook C. Wind the thread clockwise a few times around in the bobbin. 
5. Switch on the main switch(1). Hold the end of the thread firmly and press the foot control. The winding action will stop automatically as soon as the bobbin is full. Cut the thread, push the bobbin to the left and remove it.
Don’t forget: Turn the handwheel release disk (3) fully back again. Then turn the handwheel (4) towards you until it snaps into place.
Winding the bobbin from the second spool pin
1. Push the second spool pin (8) into its hole. Slide on a spool cap and place the thread spool on the spool pin.
2. Place the thread into guide A and pull it through opening B to the right under hook C. Wind the thread clockwise a few times around the bobbin. 
3. Switch on the main switch (1). Hold the end of thread firmly and press the foot control. The winding action will stop automatically as soon as the bobbin is full. Cut the thread, push the bobbin to the left and remove it.
Don’t forget: Turn the handwheel release disk (3) back again. Then turn the handwheel (4) towards you until it snaps into place.
TIP: If the machine is already threaded, you can easily wind thread from the second spool pin without having to unthread the machine
Winding through the needle
Even if the machine has been completely threaded, you can still wind the bobbin.
1. First make sure to stop the needle from moving while winding the bobbin.
Hold the handwheel (4) firmly and turn the handwheel release disc (3) until it stops in the direction of the arrow. This stops the needle from moving while the machine is winding the bobbin.
2. Raise the presser foot lifter. Pass the needle thread through the presser foot and then upwards through the right threading slot (12).
Now, pull the thread into the take-up lever from left to right (10). The take-up lever must be positioned at its very top. Pass the thread to the right under the hook C. Then wind the thread several times around the bobbin.
3. Switch on the main switch (1) and press the foot control. The winding action will stop automatically as soon as the bobbin is full. Cut the thread, push the bobbin to the left and remove it.
Don’t forget: Turn the handwheel release disk (3) back again. Then turn the handwheel (4) towards you until it snaps into place.
