Have you ever seen a bobbin do this?

I found that works with my Janome. Also, holding the thread up top really tight until bobbin is partially wound, then clipping it. I was initially frustrated by the bobbin winder and bought a Sidewinder that was lousy.
I loop around the back guide a couple of times to make sure the tension is tight.

He told me that the extra tension it provided would make a tighter wound bobbin and that would prevent it from unwinding and causing a tangled mess underneath. Hope this helps you out.

Yes it is the bobbin winders fault! LOL. I've had a few of them myself. I mourn the thread wasted not the bobbin. I don't want to look at all that thread that got mangled up so I toss the whole bobbin and start over and forget it.
