XL5000/XL6000  demo of the bobbin winder and the thread exchanger
 

As we start our demo of the XL5000 we see that the machine has a special bobbin for winding thread in the machine. To wind in the sewing mode, insert the bobbin, white gear down, replace the case cover and lower the feed. Thread the machine top thread.

The drop feed and fill the bobbin screen appears. Touch OK!

To thread the needle with thread, stage the thread through the first thread guide on the top of the machine. Touch the spool symbol and this screen appears. Touch the top icon and the machine threads.

Here is the top threader in action. Unbelievable

To wind the bobbin pick the bobbin fill level you want and then touch the bobbin wind symbol and via!

The bobbin will fill in the machine for sewing using the needle thread to fill the bobbin.

To fill the continuous bobbin you must attach the embroidery unit. This feature only works when the embroidery unit is on and once the thread is staged, the bobbin will continue to fill as you embroider until the spool of bobbin thread is empty. To stage the thread touch the bobbin winding symbol on the machine and use the gray threader to lay the thread into the bobbin winder correctly.

Tuck the bobbin thread tail inside before you close the stage area cover. Make sure you clear all loose threads from this area and keep it clean.
 

Close the cover of the bobbin winder and you are ready to embroider.

Thread your top thread exchangers by staging "A" thread first and then threading the needle.

As the needle threads, do not pull the looped thread through. Leave the thread loop and the machine will follow through just fine.

Stage the second color

Once you choose a design and have entered it your screen will look like this. You are now ready to sew.
Choose "A" to "B" on the thread exchanger. After "A" thread sews, change it and touch the "B" to "A" symbol as the machine is sewing for continuos embroidery.

For the Santa design we choose we will need the large hoop. The new hoop is now fit with a soft gasket for better slip control. We have found however that using Tear Easy in the hoop and then applying the top fabric to the Tear Easy with KK 2000 stick spray is the best way to eliminate puckers.

This design is off the new XL5000 502 smart card.
