Another Question from the Ultimate Sewing Novice
Hello Friends,
When a friend or my sewing instructor set up my machine for winding my bobbin, the bobbin gets wound properly. But when I do it myself, the bobbin winds unevenly--more thread toward the bottom of the spool than the top.
Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?
Please help.
Thank you,
Karen

I think you must be missing-threading the machine. Hopefully you have your machine instruction manual and follow it. Or sit with your friend or instructor and have them watch you thread the bobbin to see if they can figure out the missing link. As Tartan said you are likely missing one of the thread guides.

Thank you, Ladies.
My class is over and my friend is rather busy, but when she can she will come and try and figure this out as well.
I am not missing any of the guides in the manual.
Thanks again,
Karen

Even though your class is over, tell your shop what is happening and as if you can stop by for a bobbin lesson. Then sit there and do it over and over and over with them watching to check you are doing it correctly.
Another observation for you to make ... despite the unevenness of the fill of the bobbin, is the thread on there as solid as it is when the others help you? Or is it somewhat spongy?
