@pollync92 That's tricky one. Self winding is temperamental on my machine. Leave the machine treaded as normal. The threading lever has 2 locations on diffrent machines models. Mine is a little rod located under the stitch count/reverse lever. Push down and slightly to the side. The other is located inside next to the bobbin, looks like a bullseye printed on it. You put it down. Both are suppose to stop when full. Mine won't so I have to keep an eye on the loading thead never winding past the 2nd or 3rd mark. Also depends on what type of bobbin. MAKE SURE WINDER IS DISENGAED when done. Yes I all capped that because mine won't pop back into neutral on its own. Makes for lousy sewing and you'd think the machine is broke. It's just not disengaged. Push, pull, wiggle, to get into neutral if you have to. Good luck.

@linettedavis4511 I have not done that yet. So no advice, sorry. Overtime I come up with a working solution I try to make a video.

It's loose. Try pushing it in to the right. Or it's not all the way down.

Check the lever that lifts the silver cover plate up. Lift it up, wiggle it under the 2 tabs that holds the plate, then drop the lever back down. It's just to the right about a hand span from the plate.
