I really enjoyed your demonstration & explanations. My mother's sewing machine took the metal bobbins but mine ask for the plastic. I was curious about the different sizes so thanks again. Also the "p" & "q" reminder was fantastic 😄
Great video, I have recently gotten a industrial sewing machine and I'm not so sure about how the bobbin is supposed to go in it. It is a used machine and no manual with it. Thank you for informative video!
I did not know about the trick of not cutting the bobbin thread before pulling it up when loading in a Bernina. I have cussed at my Bernina a lot after having a much leasier to load Viking , because I cut the thread on the little cutter as the directions indicated. Wow, what a difference having a bottom thread you can grab when it’s pulled up! I am a quilter, and this is a game changer!
Great instructions on Bobbin usage. I didn’t know you shouldn’t reuse a pre-wound embroidery bobbin. That seems to be such a waste. I wonder why my Janome pre-wound packaging doesn’t tell me that. I would’ve spent the money on regular bobbins for my machine instead of the pre-wounds and just wound the bobbins myself so I can reuse them. Good to know the plastic bobbins are for top load and metal bobbins for front load machines. What causes the spongy bobbins? I have several I need to rewind.
Thanks for sharing Marshia! Spongy bobbins are caused by poor tension when starting to wind your bobbin. When you initially wind your bobbin, ensure that everything is threaded correctly and that will give you proper tension to wind the bobbin. Hope that helps!
I got a new Janome 740dc, the manual says to put the speed slider on the highest to wind the bobbin. On my first attempt,I did it right but for some reason, because the speed was high, the thread started right then the thread somehow came off the bobbin and before I could stop the process, the thread was under the bobbin into the gap between the bobbin pin and the machine. I had to cut the thread and pull it gently back out of the machine. It scared the crap out of me. Since then, I start on the slowest speed and once there’s a number of layers I put it on high speed. I still get anxious doing it since that first time.
I didn't know that people actually wound bobbin thread over old bobbin thread. Fascinating. I also didn't know that you had to throw away the bobbin on a pre-owned bobbin. I've never bought one and now I really won't buy one. How wasteful
I have a newer Juki. As soon as I push the bobbin over, it starts winding. I have no control over the speed. I have pre-wound bobbins in various colors. They definitely are too heavy a thread to be for embroidery. However, the quality of these threads is poor, so I still wouldn’t recommend them.
I’ve been sewing for years and years but not often. This video was a great refresher! Thank you for reminding me of several things I had forgotten.

Thank you for such a a good video demonstration regarding bobbins 😊👍💕
I didn’t know that pre wound bobbins were for embroidery 😮.thanks
Thank you for the great info on bobbins! Definitely did not know pre wound ones are for embroidery.
Thank you for a very informative bobbin video m

So glad we were able to help and it worked better this way for you!
Thank you great information
