How to thread the bobbin on a Brother sewing machine?

The reference provided describes the final steps of threading the bobbin and pulling up the thread after inserting the bobbin into the machine. While it doesn't detail the entire bobbin threading process, here's what the video excerpt explains, followed by a general overview of how to thread the bobbin on a Brother sewing machine.

Key steps from the reference:

• "Around through here and cut it": This refers to guiding the bobbin thread through the thread guides on the machine and using the cutter to trim the excess thread.
• "Replace the plastic cover": This involves closing the bobbin case with its cover after the bobbin is correctly inserted.
• "Grab the needle thread. And turn the handwheel counterclockwise. And pull up your thread." This describes how to bring the bobbin thread up through the needle plate: Hold the needle thread, turn the handwheel counterclockwise to make the needle go down and up, and then gently pull the needle thread to bring the bobbin thread up.

General Steps for Threading the Bobbin on a Brother Sewing Machine (overview, the reference is missing some initial steps):

While the excerpt focuses on the final steps, here is how to generally thread a bobbin with a Brother sewing machine, as the reference does not include the initial steps. Consult your specific Brother sewing machine model's manual for precise instructions, as there can be slight variations.

1. Prepare the Machine: Place a spool of thread on the spool pin.

2. Wind the Bobbin:

   • Place an empty bobbin on the bobbin winder spindle.
   • Follow the thread guide, winding the thread around the bobbin a few times to secure it.
   • Push the bobbin winder to the right to engage the winding mechanism.
   • Start the machine to wind the bobbin with thread.
   • Once the bobbin is full, the winder will usually stop automatically.
   • Push the bobbin winder back to the left and remove the full bobbin.

3. Insert the Bobbin into the Bobbin Case:

   Open the bobbin compartment. The location varies by model (front or side loading). Consult your manual.

   • Place the bobbin into the bobbin case, ensuring it's facing the correct direction (refer to your manual for direction).
   • Thread the bobbin thread through the slit in the bobbin case and pull it to the left, ensuring it's properly seated.

4. Threading the Machine (following up from where the reference begins):

   • Close the bobbin compartment cover.
   • Follow the machine's threading guide to thread the upper thread through the tension disks, down through the lower guides, and up to the needle.
   • Thread the needle from front to back.

5. Drawing Up the Bobbin Thread (as described in the reference):

   • Hold the needle thread loosely.
   • Turn the handwheel counterclockwise to lower the needle into the needle plate area and then raise it back up.
   • Gently pull on the needle thread. This should bring up a loop of the bobbin thread.
   • Use a pin or your fingers to pull the bobbin thread loop completely out.
   • Place both the needle thread and the bobbin thread under the presser foot and toward the back of the machine.
