need help threading my bobbin?

Question

ok when i finish the bobbin, it is not smooth and flat , its loose and kind of erratic.. how do i get it to be smooth?

Answer 1

Put more tension on the thread as you fill the bobbin.

Answer 2

When you start to thread your bobbin there should be a clamp that comes down over the bobbin. The wheel on the right hand side of the machine should be loosened. The little switch under the bobbin you are threading should be turned if it is to the right then turn it to the left. Then you hook the thread from above through the needle around the bobbin so that it
comes toward you and step on your pedal. The tension is caused by the clamp and your bobbin should be smooth and even and full of thread. Good Luck.
Then do the reverse on everything after you remove your bobbin.
Tighten everything you loosened and turn the switch back for the tension.

Answer 3

In general-- when you put your spool on the thread holder.... do you see a round kinda bump thing on top of the machine?-- if you do-- then look closely and run your thread around the "bump" and to the bobbin. You will feel some "drag"-- this is what keeps the tension on the thread when winding the bobbin.
Now, if you have a empty bobbin, start the thread as usual on the bobbin-- put it on the bobbin filler and snap it in place-- make sure the thread is around the bump and that the spool is turning the right direction-- and fill the bobbin.
no problem
good luck

Answer 4

Are you remembering to run the thread through the tension ring on the top of you sewing machine? Mine is right above the notch where I thread the machine before it goes down. Without the proper tension your machine will be unable to load the bobbin properly.
