I have a brother too that loads like that. Never had an issue....you dont pull up the bobbin thread you just start sewing. I have made many quilts if your worried about not having a tail don't. Now mine doesn't bunch thread either at the beginning. Do not let people tell you you need an expensive machine. My first brother from Walmart is 15 years old and still works but I wanted more stitches and I'm a daily sewer. My second one I got 8 months ago and perfect still. It took me a minute to get used to the fact you dont have a tail when you first put the bobbin in. I just go slow. Happy Quilting
