How to Wind a Husqvarna Bobbin
Husqvarna sewing machines, also called Viking machines, can be a useful tool for nearly any sewing project. When your bobbin runs out of thread, however, you'll need to put your project on hold for a minute so you can refill it. To wind a Husqvarna bobbin you'll need to look over your machine to know if your bobbin winds from the top or from the side. Once you know how to wind your bobbin, you'll be ready to complete any project you need.

Tips & Warnings
Husqvarna bobbins have an "H" logo on one side. Always be sure to have the logo facing away from the machine so you can see it when you wind the bobbin no matter what type of machine you are using.
Always remember to bring your starting thread under the presser foot to avoid breaking or bending your needle.
