I like to stack several bobbins on the thread spool then unwind multiples all at once.

I rewind by placing messed up one on thread spindle with cap to keep from flying up/ away.

Why is it that if you're gonna drop ANYthing during the course of the day, it's one of these 4 things: 1) A full bobbin,which then runs 25 feet away from you. I have to race the cat to get to it. And it's never an empty bobbin! 2) My sewing scissors, and they always land point down. 3) A glass, and usually it's full of red wine, not white, and of course I never drop an empty glass. 4) Dinner as you're pulling it out of the oven. I never drop it as I'm putting it INTO the oven. |
First I thread the loose end on a new bobbin and place it in the machines bobbin winder as normal. Then I put the messed up bobbin on a bamboo skewer or thin dowel rod so that I can hold it horizontal at the right height to the machine. Press the "wind" button and let it spin away. Never fails to give me a perfect bobbin.

I just put it on the thread spool of the sewing machine and put a thread cap on it and pull the thread off.

This has been a timely post for me. I have never unwound a full bobbin, but will sacrifice the last couple of feet of thread rather than run a bobbin empty when starting into a longer seam. Just this morning my bobbin was sparsely threaded so I put it into the small drawer on my sewing machine table and what a quick, easy pull.
