Need help with pre-wound bobbins
#1

I normally wind my own bobbins, but I found some Singer pre-wounds at a really good price, so I bought a bunch of them. I am having so much trouble finding the end of the thread to start a new bobbin. Is there a trick to this, am I inept, do I need a special code word-- or what? I really like the convenience, but am getting ready to toss them

I bought some and wound up throwing them out. I never could find the end of the thread. Mine were plastic bobbins.

Mine are plastic bobbins. I have tried poking at it with a pin and have ended up pulling a loop of thread and cutting that. If I'm lucky I reach the starting point after unwinding for a bit. I'm still hoping that someone comes up with the perfect solution!?!?

No wonder they were so "dirt cheap".... it is a cheap, rotten product!! I have always thought Singer was a reputable company, but now I am wondering why such a company would put such a worthless product on the market. I will never spend my money on this again, no matter how good a sale it is. I agree that it does seem to be one giant loop and my patience and good humor have been totally depleted this afternoon. Am wondering why I didn't just give up and wind my own... guess it is because I was born at the end of the depression, and we were always taught "waste not, want not".
