⭐️Extremely interesting uses of the small hole on the reel that you definitely don't know

[@karenh789]

I have been sewing for 60 years and never thought to do this. I have threaded the thread through the hole and held it when beginning the winding. You taught an old lady a new trick today! 😉❤

[@pamelaoneil1170]

I too have been sewing for many years and this never occurred to me either.

[@zeebee1948]

Here's another long term sewer (60+ years) who's learnt how to use the hole properly. Thanks Trefa Craft 😊

[@Belladonna602]

Same here. 50+ years and never knew

[@elizabethcaligiuri8196]

This is how I was told to do it 40 years ago by my sewing teacher😊

[@marshiahobson3727]

Me too 50 + years sewing and hundreds of YT videos and this is first time seeing it done this way. I love to learn news of doing things . The other part of this tip is to rotate the bobbin until the spring clicks into place with that other hole in the bobbin.

[@bonniestalhiem8025]

Thank you for showing this short video.👍🏻 I’ve only ever used the little hole but never brought it back down through the center like that! Can’t wait to give it a try! 👵🏻

[@SharonCarbine]

Fantastic advice! Thank you! For decades, I have never used the holes on my bobbins correctly. Now, I will.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much I really really enjoyed this, I’m 71-years old and I have never known about this before. So very very helpful and useful too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

[@jennifermartin5974]

I never saw this method of putting thread through the CENTER hole and then through the little one. This way the initial beginning of the thread stays closer to the bobbin post. I’ve been sewing for 60 yrs on several different brands and I’ve never seen a manual explain it this way. I’ll do it this way from now on! Thanks for a great demonstration!

[@kathywright7070]

Wow! Youre never too old to learn, thanks

[@debbysimon120]

Ive always threaded thru the teeny hole, but did not know about the bigger hole also! Thank you, Ill try it.

I have always threaded the bobbin while on the winder, learned something new, thanks.

[@m.m.4645]

Nice to post that. A lot of people did not know it. Nevertheless, the use of the hole is the first thing the dealer taught me when I bought my first sewing machine some 40 years ago.

[@RhondaHildreth-l8o]

I am quilting for years and didn't know this trick. Thanks!

[@gwens3604]

Had put the thread through one hole at the top then held on to it for a few seconds as the bobbin filled. This is a much better way. Thankyou!

I just recently wondered if everyone knew this. Thanks.

This is a neat idea. I'll try it next time. I always use a very fine crochet hook to thread the yarn through those small and - at my age - difficult to see holes.

[@rebapuck5061]

I see I am not the only one who sticks notes to my machines.

[@patricialeshkow6387]

Thank you. I knew the little hole was for threading, but didn't know about inserting the thread through the middle of bobbin.

[@annetterussell1301]

Why the arrogant/ negative comments about "having learned this in the past or not reading the manual"? FYI the machine i have has an automatic winder and the instructions do not show this way of threading the bobbin. Even if it did, why criticize someone for not reading it? Maybe they don't have the manual. Maybe they're so excited to sew they jump in and just go for it. Perhaps look at this this lack of basic knowledge as an opportunity to help spread the knowledge. Positivity is better than negativity especially when there is no call for it.

I have always used the hole.

[@amweg21]

Have been doing this since learning to sew...over 50 years...thought everyone knew that!

[@lisalu910]

Me too. Don't mean to sound rude, but I can't believe no one ever "thought" of this before, it's like didn't they ever read the sewing machine manual that tells you how to wind the bobbin? Didn't they ever LOOK at the hole and figure it out? SHM...🙄

[@ellabella8506]

It's the way I've always done it and it's explained in the instruction book that came with my machine too.

[@katpaints]

I started sewing in the 1950s and I've done this since I got my own machine in 65. My mother's machine was wound by the hand-wheel and it wasn't easy to figure out. My machine, I could hang on to the thread that I put through the hole and it would break after a few twists around. I now have a Pfaff that has a little groove that will grab the thread since the hole is gone.

[@cynthiacarter532]

My Viking bobbins don't have that hole and I'm seriously thinking about drilling some! They don’t wind as well as they should.

[@dianepeterson7606]

I was taught this 55 years ago. Thanks for all those who never learned.

[@jillrigby386]

That’s a great idea. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you!

[@lisalu910]

It's not an "idea" it is the way the bobbin was designed to be used. Didn't it ever occur to you that the hole was put there for a REASON?

[@Louise-zs9rl]

Wow what a great idea

[@lisalu910]

Yeah, great "idea." This is how the bobbin was designed to be used, it was a great "idea" 100 years ago when they first invented round bobbin sewing machines.

Yep that what you use the hole for! Strange that they don’t actually tell you when you buy the things or maybe I just haven’t read the packaging !

[@mandiigraham1596]

It appears that the older sewers (like myself) ever knew the right way to insert the thread. And in all the machines I have owned, not one shows to thread it the way it was shown here. So to those who thought this video was a waste of time, think again. And it begs the question, if you are so smart that you k ew this, then why did you watch in the first place.

[@MaryAnnFlaus]

KNEW thanks to Joanne Fabrics

[@lisalu910]

Are you SERIOUS? This is the exact reason the hole was put there in the first place - it isn't an "extremely interesting" use of the hole it is the INTENDED use of the hole. That is like saying, "Hey great idea, you can insert thread through that hole in the end of the needle!"🙄

[@pleasebekind9115]

True, but unfortunately that is not written anywhere in the instruction booklet that came with my machine nor have I seen it on any of the many sewing videos I’ve watched. One of my pet peeves about my machine is the poor quality of the instruction booklet (and yes, I understand that a hard copy of an instruction booklet is somewhat of a relic) and this is a perfect example. It never would have occurred to me to use that second hole that way so I’m appreciative of the info. I feel that it absolutely should be included in the info that comes with the machine.

[@savannahbanks]

Too fiddley. I wet my thread, wind it a few times then put it on spool. Never comes off.

Sorry, didn't mean it to come across like that, my last 2 machines (both very old and both with more than 1 previous owner) had it in the instructions, one in a little useful tip box to the side the earlier one as part of the setting your machine up guide, my nana taught me it first though. I've been very lucky that both my nana and my mum were self taught, so they'd found things out through trial and error, I'm still doing that now and so excited about my new to me machine, the Husqvarna Viking Designer 1. Embroidery and sewing machine, a little scared to set it up but still excited, have to clear off my work bench first so may be a while. Do hope I didn't cause you any offence with my previous comment, sincerely none meant to anyone. ❤🧵❤
