PooLin EOC05-2IN1 Beginner Sewing Tutorial & Quick Start Guide

PooLin EOC05-2IN1 is a multifunctional machine that combines sewing and embroidery in one unit, designed especially for beginners and DIY craft enthusiasts.
It is available in two color options—Red (RE) and White. Aside from the color difference, both versions offer the same features and performance.
In this tutorial, we will focus on the sewing function of the EOC05-2IN1, guiding you through the complete process from basic setup to your very first sewing project. The steps are simple and easy to follow, making it perfect for first-time users.

Materials&Tools

  • PooLin EOC05-2IN1
  • Cotton thread for sewing
  • Two pieces of fabric


  • Bobbin
  • Tweezers

Power On & Mode Check

After turning on the machine, you’ll notice an important update: The sewing mode is now built directly into the system.

Before officially starting sewing, we need to first prepare the upper thread and bobbin.

Install the Bobbin (Lower Thread Setup)

Step 1: Remove the Bobbin Cover

  • Slide the latch to the right
  • Remove the bobbin cover and set it aside for later use

Step 2: Insert the Bobbin

  • Pull the bobbin thread out in a counterclockwise direction
  • Place the bobbin into the bobbin case, making sure the thread is still positioned in a counterclockwise direction
  • Follow the arrows to guide the thread around the thread guide

Step 3: Check and Finish

  • Gently pull the thread to make sure it moves smoothly
  • Trim off any excess thread

  • Reattach the bobbin cover

At this point, the bobbin installation is complete.

Thread the Upper Thread

For this step, it’s recommended to use cotton thread specifically for sewing. Regular embroidery thread is not suitable for the sewing function.

Step 1: Place the Spool

  • Place the thread spool on the spool holder
  • Secure it with the spool cap

Step 2: Start Threading (Critical Step)

⚠️ Before threading, make sure to lift the presser foot—this is very important.

  • Pass the thread through the top hook
  • Pull the thread downward and slip it into the center between the two metal tension discs
  • Guide the thread downward along the groove
  • Lower the presser foot to secure the thread

Step 3: Complete the Upper Thread Path

  • Pull the thread upward along the thread path, going around the U-shaped curve
  • Continue threading through the elastic hook
  • Open the front cover for a clearer view of the threading path
  • Pull the thread downward again and pass it through the hook
  • Gently pull the thread to make sure it moves smoothly without any snags

Automatic Needle Threading

 Now, let’s move on to the needle threading step.

  • Using the Automatic Needle Threader

If it’s not at the top, double-click the button to raise itMake sure the needle is at its highest position

  • Press the automatic needle threader down to its lowest position
  • Make sure the small hook on the needle threader goes through the needle eye and catches the thread
  • Release the automatic needle threader to complete the threading

Alternative Method (Optional)

  • You can also thread the needle manually
  • Use tweezers to pull the thread through, which helps protect your fingers

After threading:

  • Trim any excess thread ⚠️ Threads that are too long may affect thread tension

At this point, all the basic setup steps are complete.

Switch to Sewing Mode

You might be wondering: how do we start sewing now? It’s simple:

  • Remove the embroidery unit
  • The screen will automatically switch to the sewing mode interface

You will see a variety of stitch options In this tutorial, we’ll select the basic stitch for demonstration

Start Your First Sewing Project

  •  Take out the two pieces of fabric you prepared earlier
  • Place the fabric under the presser foot
  • Start the machine to sew the two pieces of fabric together

And just like that, you’ve completed your first basic sewing operation.
