I have recently decided to try to brush up on my sewing skills. I was motivated by my little one that’s on his/her way. I feel I need to be able to make Halloween costumes, hem/dart pants etc. During this quest, I have learned there is hardly any information out there concerning my sewing machine. So I thought I would post some information that may be useful to others that have the same type of machine I do.

What size bobbin does the Euro Pro 8260 take? Class 15

How do you thread the Euro Pro 8260?

Threading the upper thread: Raise the needle bar to its highest position. Follow exactly the numbered threading sequence illustrated below. If you skip a step or fail to properly engage the thread in any of the thread guides, the machine will not sew properly (1-5)

Continue to draw the thread down and into the needle bar thread guide. Insert the thread through the eye of the needle from front to back. Leave about 10 cm of thread loose behind the needle. (6)

Bringing up the lower thread:  Hold the upper thread with the left hand. Turn the hand wheel  towards you with your right hand until the needle goes down and comes up again to its highest position. (1)

Lightly draw the needle thread forming a loop with the bobbin thread. The upper thread should have caught the lower thread in a loop.

Pull the needle thread toward you and the lower thread will come up from the bobbin in a large loop (2) Pull about 15 cm of both thread away from you under the presser foot.

These were the most common questions I ran across as I was searching for the size of the bobbin.  If you have any other questions concerning this machine please leave a comment and I will try to help you the best I can. Happy sewing!
