Hi. I'm Jennifer from Workroom Social, and today we're going to talk about how to wind a bobbin. So, what is a bobbin? These are a couple of bobbins. Every sewing machine has a different bobbin that is specifically made for their machine, so you should refer to your manual to see what kind of bobbin your machine needs. But, basically, a bobbin is the mini spool of thread that sits at the bottom of your machine to make your stitches.
So, to wind the bobbin, the first thing you need to do is to take your thread and you're going to put it in the thread holder on your machine. Now, the main thing you want to sort of pay attention to about winding your bobbin is your thread needs tension.
So, here's my tension disk on my machine, and that's going to hold the thread taut. So, I'm just going to put it through there, and then I'm going to take the end of my thread and put it through a little, tiny hole that sits on the inside of my bobbin. And I'm going to just pull it out and hold it up. Then I'm going to attach my bobbin to the bobbin spindle and I'm going to lock it into place. That engages this component of your machine.
The next thing that's important to do is to disengage your needle. So, on my machine that's here on the right hand side. And I'm just going to pull it out. And what that's going to do, it's going to prevent my needle from going up and down, which we don't need to happen right now. And then I'm going to hold the top of my thread so it doesn't get dangled and I'm going to step on the presser foot. And we're going to get a couple of spins and then I'm just going to cut this top. I don't need this anymore. And then I'm going to wind this bobbin.
Now, you'll see, as the thread is going, it should be going up and down in a fairly even motion. And if that's happening, you know you have a good tension. If it's not happening, it could be for a couple of reasons. One, you just might be a little off balance, in which case you can take, this is an awl, you can take that or a pencil or something and stick it underneath to help guide your thread up and down. You want your bobbin to be nice and even.
Now, this will stop automatically when it's done. Or, if you only want a little bit you can just stop it ahead of time. And you'll just clip that off, and now you have your threaded bobbin.

You should have seen my absolute awe when the bobin started being threaded. I've been doing it by hand all this time. 🤦‍♀️

[@nyanaevans7069]

Me too!!

[@drarry1122]

garfield me too!! Then i get too lazy to do it to the very end, and end up with a half filled bobbin.

[@zeusincoming282]

Dang,, Id stop sewing before I wound my bobbins by hand!

[@omgitsaari4908]

Wdh😂😂😂😂

[@gabrielagranillomendoza8945]

Nooo😂😭

[@JennySmafield]

I would like to just send out a "thank you"...All I needed to know was captured right here in your video, in less than 3 minutes. No unnecessary other info in which wastes precious sewing time. :-) So once again, thank you for keeping this video short and yet to the point.

[@brittnyn2208]

I’m a beginner at sewing and you have helped me discover so many components already for my machine...🙏🏽 life saver!

[@schwarzekatze3040]

finally someone who ACTUALLY took the time to explain everything. now even my old cheap sewing machine can make tight bobbers. all I needed was a pencil....

[@Leradelie]

Thank you so much for sharing! I am using a machine that I haven't used in many years, and I didn't remember exactly how to fill a bobbin. I watched you and learned. Thank you again! Blessings.

[@LunaGuinevereStudio]

thank you! I was able to do my first ever bobbin threading with this very helpful video. I am very ecstatic when I saw it was threading ... ahhh, what a wonderful feeling!

[@ShopNaturallyMe]

This video was so helpful because of the close up shots. I kept putting it through the bottom hole instead of the top and now it works

[@prettyrainbows9714]

Thank you so much for your willingness to help us fellow sewers by posting your "how to" video. This saved me time. Happy Sewing.

[@kylesexyman4932]

Thank you i love that you didn't explain stuff too long and just make general statements that can be compatible with so many michenes

[@reinaellis9695]

Thank you so much! exactly what I needed to know to stop my needle from going up and down while winding the bobbin.

[@liviemillie6455]

Thank you, Jennifer! This is extremely helpful. I have a book I'm reading to teach myself to sew, but I absolutely cannot visualise instructions in my mind for how to do things like this.

[@heathertaylor8904]

Thanks..been forever since I've used a sewing machine and I've forgotten everything 😄 you're the best!

[@missmsmrs.7309]

You're a LIFE SAVER and such an awesome teacher! Thank You for this! I must have forgotten over the years. LOL.

[@ila1681]

TYSM!!! i got a sewing machine yesterday and couldn't figure it out even with the manual so i came here and i figured it out thx

[@talialobach1428]

This is an excellent video thank you so much. The step I was missing was disengaging the needle. My goodness. I was using my easy stitch to thread my bobbins! This as two minutes and thirty seconds well spent!

[@danduhlineseas8888]

Still quite new to sewing, and your videos are so helpful!

[@kitty0chan444]

What a savior I had no clue what I was doing

[@Janescheekychickens]

Thankyou so much for this tutorial! Amazing how easy you made it. I can finally fill bobbins without the severe! Stress. 👌💝

[@ead9726]

Thank you ❤️. I will not tell you how long I have had my sewing machine😱but it was a video of instructions which I cannot play nowadays. Yehhhhhh now I can fill my spools properly 👍many thanks.

[@alphafurry3624]

This may be 9y old but it's still a vary good

[@naxigerld5766]

Thank you for explaining it to me, it is my first time doing sewing and I don't know what i'm doing with the bobbin, so I just thought you can spin the thread to the bobbin to make the thread stay spuned at the bobbin to be able to start sewing. Thank you very much for the help!!!😊😅👍🏽

[@carmensmall3646]

Best video on explaining what is actually happening thank you!

[@franramirez588]

[@marycrousser2361]

Ahh, the powers of KZbin! Thank you so much!

[@r0blin987]

This video just saved me thank you so much

[@DeliciousAmbiguity87]

So compete newbie here - but the most important detail for the uninitiated is to only put the thread through the top hole, so it actually spools correctly. It may seem obvious to some, but I had to watch this video three times and mess up a few more before I got lucky in the comments. 😂

[@kevdogcle9955]

Thank you, so much your vedio. I have winded bobions before. But this new michine was frustrating me. It helped me figure out how to wind my bobbin for my new machine. My unit didn't come eith instruction manual. I was crusing up a storm . Until I watched your how to. I watched several how to vedio. And they where poorly done and blurry. Thank you so much

[@katrinahippleheuser9613]

[@clairess4845]

Thanks, the thread is not spinning on my Janome S-Series 307 after I follow these steps, however it is making a noise like the machine is doing something. It's been a few years since i have used the machine, is it broken or am I missing something?

[@TheDukeOfZill]

i accidentally ordered giant spools... however i could definitely use it for my bobbins. they won't fit on the machine, how can i utilize them for refilling bobbins if they won't fit on the machine?

[@johnbackley6115]

Thankyou. I hv no knowledge with sewing machine but bought it so I can cut my Jeans myself to save money .

[@tarahjunaid8089]

Flindo BK LoL you kidding right ? How much would it have cost to cut your jeans ?😂😂. I’m really curious . Good move though you’d do more with your machine than cutting the jeans at the end .. please tell me the cost and how much you saved ..

[@charmanewaldner2390]

wow tks for tip

[@necs2one]

[@OriginalGentlemenbyAJSMedia]

[@ardnashot4126]

Hello I know this is an old video so I will be very grateful 8f anyone can help . I recently acquired a vintage Adler standard 160 sewing machine but it's missing the spool stopper. Does any one know how I can do a DIY replacement for it? Thank you all

[@kanchanpradhan9247]

Thank you madam

[@aleeshabelle8679]

My thing is on the bobbin does the thread go in the top hole or through both holes ? Cause it has a hole on the bottom and top.

[@qewdascz1839]

You’ve probably figured it out by now but one hole is good dont know about two but one hole works

[@firstnamelastname4369]

thank you!!!!!

[@berenice3289]

So helpful! Thank you!!!!! 😀

[@beatrixsamson3419]

[@azaleascreams8074]

[@philipthebeau6529]

I have Pfaff hobby 301 and there is not a video on how to thread the bobbin or the machine this machine is different than all other machines I haven't seen one like this and it's weird as hell can someone please show me how to do this or make a video on show me how to make this type of machine thank you

[@jasminesays]

i've been winding my bobbin by hand.... omg

[@sadiecourtney203]

YASSSS THANKYA SOOOOMUCHH

[@welcometothesaltyspitoon]

Thank you so much. I finally got it!

[@r_r]

Ty

[@annoyingnessbeginswithme5698]

I had no idea you could disengage the needle woah

[@lizreece1785]

I can’t disengage my needle on my singer tradition sewing machine

[@yagousera]

Do not thread your bobbin as she showed you in 1:06 minutes (Through bottom and top hole), that is incorrect. The bobbin should be threaded through one hole that sits on the top of the winder when it's placed in. Reason being is that the way she showed you leaves a thread lapping over the edge of the bobbin rendering it unbalanced *Dragging) and not smooth moving in the bobbin race. The thread creates a dragging effect when the bobbin should have no obstructions in it's movement and should be level.

[@malevolentthedragon]

Thank you, I was so freaking confused

[@Arctic_Falcon]

If you look closely, it's actually only going through the top hole. At first I thought it went through both as well.

[@Pennythuylambion]

Thank you so much for pointing this out, I was so frustrated for the last 15 mins ....

[@hannahd366]

Thank you soooooo much for pointing this out! I was really frustrated when my thread kept tangling up UNDER the bobbin winder. 😂

[@jediclan540]

This is exactly what she did though. She only placed it thru the top hole on the bobbin. I'm watching this video for the first time and I clearly saw that

[@libertyscott5926]

Hey what if I don't have a thread holder ?

[@personperson4759]

Handy :)

[@stellakinoti3927]

Thankyou

[@breannablu5818]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU

[@paulinehaughton7726]

tell me about pattern and width

[@Amara-xu2dr]

lol I just understood the nursery rhyme now!!!

[@lornalu7619]

What’s the stuff that hold threads going up and down? How to spell it. Could someone type it for me? 🙈

[@snicole4760]

How do you disengage your needle? My knob won’t pull out

[@evelynr7069]

Some machines disengage the needle by just pushing the bobbin (when its on the winding holder) to the right. Others disengage by loosening a smaller wheel thats mounted in the same place as the balance wheel (the hand wheel). When you are ready to sew, everything has to be put back into its original position.
