Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Secure thread on sewing machine as if you were threading machine and pass thread end along indicated thread guides. Thread guides will be somewhat different for bobbin winding than for regular threading.
Step2
Place empty bobbin on bobbin winding spindle. This spindle will be located on front right, on top right, or on either side of machine. The spindle may have to be repositioned for bobbin winding.
Step3
Place thread end through one hole in upper portion of bobbin, and pull a few inches of thread through.
Step4
Disengage the sewing machine needle by either pushing in the center portion of the handwheel or rotating center portion of handwheel towards you. The method will depend on the model of your machine.
Step5
Take hold of the thread end and pull gently outward so that there is very little slack in the thread. Firmly grasp thread end.
Step6
Push on presser foot to begin winding bobbin. Hold onto thread end while bobbin is being wound. Wind bobbin only up to guideline marked around the edge of the bobbin.
Step7
Cut excess thread from the top of bobbin and cut thread that attaches bobbin to rest of thread spool.
Step8
Insert bobbin into bobbin case, pass thread through indicated slots, and bring thread out a few inches to the right.
Step9
Close slide plate over thread.
Step10
Continue threading machine.

on 1/23/2008 I can't get my thread to come up from the bobbin
when I put the needle down into the opening.
What could I be doing wrong??? Could it be the
actual bobbin size, or could it be the needle???
