be careful not to bump her arm!it's very sensitive.

Grüezi!

so you want to get to know Swiss Miss...awesome!

SWISS MISS 1 : machine set up

power up!

plug in the machine. the power button is right here on the back.

1.

threading

to rethread the machine. it is IMPERATIVE that you cut the thread from the spools and ALWAYS pull the thread out of the machine to the LEFT!

2.

threading

put your desired top thread onto one of the inner spokes and bring the thread up into the holder loops. make sure it can unspool easily.

3.

threading -- tensioning

using both hands pull the thread tight and maintain the tension as you slide it up into the slot to thread the machine.

4.

gently lead the thread over the machine and into the groove at the top and along the side.

pro tip: Swiss Miss will play a small video showing you all the steps just in case you forget

threading

pulling the thread to the foot, hook it under the clip then into the mouth-like arm on the left side of the machine. bring the thread up, around, and down to cut the thread. then push the lit button!

6.

when you push the button Swiss Miss will thread the needle. if the thread doesn’t go through the eye just repeat card 6.

threading7.

if the thread gets caught, stuck, or disappears up into the machine you have to go in and rescue it.

get this little tool out.

then pop it in the side (there is a little notch) push a bit, the hatch will open up and the thread can be rescued!

threading BONUS8.

the bobbin -- where is it?

the bobbin holds the bottom thread so to get to it we need to move the sewing surface. just press the button to release and then slide it on over!

9.

bobbining

when you open the hatch the machine will automatically flip the bobbin out for you.

N O T O U C H I N G !

10.

bobbining

incidentally, this is what a correctly loaded bobbin will look like. the important thing to note here is the location of the “tail end of the thread.

to pop the bobbin out use this little tab to release it. it works pretty well by slipping your fingernail under the tab and pulling gently.

11.

to reload the bobbin (after you’ve popped it back in) lead the thread around and slide it in to the crevice on the bobbin housing.

bobbining13.

lead the thread up and around to the left, then firmly bring it back down and to the right. you should feel it catch -- if you get up in there and look under the bobbin you should see a small hook, if the thread is in there you’ve got it! if not, try again.

bobbining14.

once it’s loaded properly, bring the thread up to the left again and cut it (so it’s a reasonable length.)refer back to card #10 to make sure everything looks right.

then just shut the case, Swiss Miss will flip the bobbin back in as you close it (so don’t slam it).

bobbining BONUS15.

when the bobbin runs out of thread, don’t freak out! rethreading it is easy.first, pull out the bob-bin (you’ve got that down!)

then, put the empty bobbin on the white peg -- this will trigger Swiss Miss to start showing you a video of what to do with your string.put a spool of thread on the outer spoke and bring it up and through the twofer hook.

bobbining BONUS16.

bring the thread down through the silver hook, loop it backwards around the second silver peg (follow the arrow), loop it a couple of times around the bobbin, then bring it down over the silver fin to cut the thread.

bobbining BONUS17.

now that you’re all set up, go to the screen and select 100% (and I usually like to hit reset on the spooling tension because sometimes people change it and it gets all wonky) then hit the button that has a bobbin with magic thread swirling around it and let Swiss Miss do her thing.

now just reload the bobbin like a boss, and keep on truckin’!
