Please forgive me if this has already been discussed but I did a search and couldn't find anything.

After years of ignoring (fearing) my grandmother's sewing machine, after my daughter jammed up our Janome (and I can't get it serviced until this quarantine - I've tried every tutorial...) I got it out. And... I'm in love. It's a Singer 201-2 and it runs perfectly/I've been sewing face masks like a champ when I try to wind a new bobbin - the thread comes out of the tension holder midway through winding and/or the thread comes up (almost off) the spool holder. (Hopefully this makes sense...) I've searched everywhere and can't figure out what the issue is. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated - video tutorials even better (I fixed a few minor issues already and it's probably my favorite part about that machine - being able to get in and fix things!) Thanks all!
