Singer 127 treadle question: bobbin thread catching
So if I read don't do something, I'm inclined to try it and see what happens. Kind of like the little tykes who must reach for the hot burner. This 127 treadle is right in the way according to my Better Half, but I've been trying to explain how it's good therapy just to practice sewing a straight line with it, it calms me...
Also thought I'd press to see how close it could get to Free-ish Motion Quilting, in spite of caution advised by more knowledgeable folk.

Backing out pressure on foot, and stitch length adjuster, resulting in the above...not so bad, IMHO.
Course who knows what would happen with a quilting project!!!
My question is, I occasionally break the bobbin thread towards the upper end of the bobbin case, as you would hold it, when loading. It also pulls through the bobbin case, in a rather "notchy" manner. I should try another bobbin, which means winding one. The bobbin thread is cotton covered poly, and who knows how old, but it I wound the bobbin recently, although it has already a tiny tendancy to curling like like pig tails when unwound from the bobbin, but not too bad.
Suggesions? the bobbin winds pretty even on this machine, but it does seem to break at the very "top" end, where it seems to be a little under the layer of thread. I tried to add a bit of tension, and wound very slowly.
