I use the little hole.

I find its easier to put it through the hole and wind. I also and starting to learn to do 10 at a time...beats rethreading everytime I need to replace my bobbin during a project.

With my machines it depends. Like with my bernina, yes, that's how it is supposed to be done. With my others, I thread it thru that little hole. LOL
|
My Brother doesn't use the hole.

My older machine the thread is through the whole on the top of the bobbin. My Vikings are wrapped since there is not a whole. There is groves on the bobbin that catch the thread.
|
I've done both ways!!

I use the little hole.

I have always wrapped my thread. Just hang on to the tail thread and start winding. Never thought of it as doing something wrong. If it doesn't give you any problems when your're sewing go for it!
