Lighten Up Girls ! It just occured to me when I was winding up a bobbin if everyone does it like I do. No biggie, not sayin' what's right or wrong. Just think it's funny that I happen to do it that way. LOL I'm a funny girl, not a serious seamtress. Trust your experience, I always say. No shame here, just making light of it ! Happy Sunday ! :) :)

Actually, I do both! Plus I kinda finger guide the thread until the bobbin gets a few layers on it. lol
|
It seems to me you're doing it the hard way, but whatever works is perfectly okay by me. The bobbin police will never know if you don't tell.
|
I put it through the hole but stop and cut it off once it catches. I think you get a better wound bobbin that way.
|
I Do thread it through the little hole. I also wind it around the tension disks on top the the machine in an "8". I had problems with messy bobbin spools, and had bought the Sidewinder (which was a pain in the whats-it) until I learned to thread so there was more resistance, hold the thread until it breaks or has enough wound to stop and snip it.
|
I always use the little hole and hold the end until it winds up a little, then I cut the excess thread....no problems.
|
All my DM machines, I thread through the hole, wind a little, stop and cut the thread. On my HQ(mid arm) I have to wrap around the bobbin, it does not a hole to use.
|
Do whatever works!

If I wound by hand I just know I'd be winding the wrong way each time and when I pushed the pedal the thing would probably unwind instead...lol |
There is no shame in that - it's what it do - ya have to do what works for you!
