How to Draw the Bobbin Thread

I struggled with this a few times, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Here's a good pictorial from Brother.

1.	Pass the thread along the slit in the direction of the arrow, and leave it there without cutting it.
	The bobbin cover should still be removed.
2.	Raise the presser foot using the presser foot lever.

3.	Lightly hold the end of the upper thread.

4.	While holding the end of the upper thread, raise the needle either by turning the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) so that the mark on the wheel points up or by pressing needle position button (for models equipped with the needle position button) once or twice.
