How do i put the thread back on a sewing machine?

Question

I have a sewing machin and the bottom thread (i think its called the bobbin) fell down how do i get it back up?
thanx

Answer 1

I'm assuming from what you're saying that you mean that the machine is threaded from the spool on top down through to the needle correctly, and the bobbin is loaded properly, but you need to get the thread from the bobbin up through to the top. If everything is set up properly, all you should need to do is slowly rotate the wheel on the side so that the needle goes down below the deck, and comes back up once. When it comes back up, it will pull the thread from the bobbin with it. Just grab it and pull it back and away from the needle and you should be good to go.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Did it simply run out of thread?

Or, do you mean the bobbin fell out of the machine? If not, skip to step 2 here.

1. First, pull the thread back down into the little slot of the bobbin case and give a little tug to make sure it's rolling smoothly. Then Insert the bobbin in its case into the space where it belongs. Wiggle it as you push, until you feel it click into place. The little "arm" on the bobbin case should fit into a slot, located at about 2 0'clock.

2. Then turn your attention to the top of the machine. Grab the top thread in your left hand, and with your right hand use the machine's handwheel to dip the needle down and back up again. It should carry the bobbin thread up with it. Close the bobbin compartment and you're ready to sew.

editing: thanks, h_brida. I had no idea the old Pfaffs were like that. I have one that's 7 years old and thank heavens it is a conventional bobbin.

Answer 3

What kind of machine is this? A Pfaff bobbin isn't like most of the rest of them. Thank goodness most bobbins aren't like the old Pfaff bobbins any more.

If it's not a Pfaff, follow Kacky's directions.

If it is a Pfaff, remove the bobbin *case* and replace the bobbin with about 6" of thread extended according to the directions in the machine's manual. Then replace the bobbin case in the machine. Getting it right is a ritual only slightly less complex than a song and a dance. Then follow the rest of Kacky's directions.

In retrospect, I consider replacing the bobbin on a Pfaff to be more difficult than riding a bicycle, but less difficult than driving a vehicle with a standard shift.
