I came across a few of your older KZbin, I'm so glad to see you both are still around.

This was a fantastic episode. I have purchased a 2nd hand well loved Sweet 16 & I have been watching really old videos. So great to have an updated version. Great job, ladies!!

Thank you for efforts in these informational videos. I am finding them so helpful in my beginning journey with my Moxie. A live Q&A would be fun too!!!!

Great video. My first machine was the original HQ16 on the folding table and it came with bobbins that had no slot. I am glad the slot was added.

Just like you mentioned, I was quilting at 10:30 pm Saturday (3/23/24), dropped my bobbin case and the tension spring popped out. So frustrating because I was on a timeline. Lucky I was able to get the spring back in place and finished my quilt. Will definitely buy an extra bobbin case or two.

Good video ladies!!!

Great video! Lot's of good information. Like Kim, I prefer pre-wound bobbins because I think they actually hold more thread than the ones we wind ourselves. But once in awhile I need a color that isn't available on the pre-wounds :)
@HandiQuilter7 ай бұрын
I totally agree!
@QuiltyJill7 ай бұрын
Place a large index card labeled 1-30 in that bobbin box. This way, you can easily identify what thread is on each bobbin. Heard my local library has a Handi Quilter with Pro Stitcher in their Maker's Space. I'm looking forward to taking the orientation class and getting started! Do you ever use the Towa gauge for setting tension?
@HandiQuilter7 ай бұрын
That sounds like a fantastic opportunity to use a Handi Quilter!! As for the Towa gauge, it's one of those things that you either love it or you don't. I personally don't use it but I know many people who do.

I make a skinny, long quilt sandwich to use to test the tension of my bobbins every time I change the bobbin. I have a little foot frame and I just move one side of the quilt and put in my tension tester. My first 40 to 50 stitches of a new bobbin always sews lousy stitches and then smooths out and has great stitches, so I always test out the bobbin tension every time I change the bobbin.

That's a great idea!
@lilianesklenarik41197 ай бұрын
I have found that slippery thread should not be fully wound on a bobbin - it slides right off. So I only wind them 3/4 full.
@sandidavis457 ай бұрын
Will vibration from simply quilting mess with tension? Do I need to readjust with each bobbin change? I am using Glide prewound.
@HandiQuilter7 ай бұрын
Every time you change your bobbin, you will want to check the tension.
@wensnyderful6 ай бұрын
Hi, my bobbin spring did pop out. When I put it back in, my tension was definitely off. Can you confirm if it should fit back in convex or concave? Thanks so much!
@HandiQuilter6 ай бұрын
The innermost section should be raised up while the outer most ring will be flush with the bobbin case.

Do you ever use bobbin gauge for consistency?
@HandiQuilter7 ай бұрын
Many quilters do. It is one of those things that is a personal preference.
@quiltingatthelake7 ай бұрын
Okay, seasoned quilter here. I have a 10 year old Fusion and when I bought extra bobbin cases I had the “old” style bobbin cases. After dropping a few on the hardwood floor, I had to purchase two more. Now I have the “new” bobbin cases. It seems to me that I have to re-tension the bobbin half-way through the bobbin (you can hear it’s too tight by the way it clicks and after visually looking, it is indeed incorrect). What’s the deal? I’m protecting the one “old” bobbin case with my life because I don’t like the new bobbin case given from my example above. Is there any way to obtain the “old” style bobbins any longer?
@HandiQuilter7 ай бұрын
Hmmm. That is interesting. I use both styles of bobbin cases without noticing any difference. I don't believe that the "old" style is available any longer. Let me do a little research and see if anyone else has heard of this situation.
@judilucas84057 ай бұрын
I’d like to see you tension the bobbin with a magnaglide bobbin in. The magnet holds it in place….
@HandiQuilter7 ай бұрын
I tension my magnaglide bobbins the same way I do all other bobbins.
@stephiepeterson7 ай бұрын
Do these bobbins work on any longarm that takes M bobbins? Or just HQ? (Referring to the purple metal ones)
@HandiQuilter7 ай бұрын
They should work on any machine that uses M class. Check with your manufacturer if you are not sure.

If the bobbin curves out in the middle, it's convex. If it curves in in the middle, it's concave. Curving in is con"cave." Think of a cave. Caves go in.

Thank you so much for all the teaching that you ladies do I really appreciate it. I learned so much from you and from this video about the bobbins thank you again❣️✂️🧵🪡
