It's hard to explain - the thread wasn't in the right little grooves. It takes talent to mess that up!!
Thanks! Oh, that I understand. I've got a plain mechanical machine------------it doesn't much care how the thread gets on the bobbin or which direction I put it in. I do know about missing the groves. Haven't done it often, but I have a time or two. I was picturing a machine that had a fancy bobbin, unlike mine. |

Just several feet? How about yards and yards ago. And that is usually when I'm chain piecing and have removed all the pins. @@ I still do it, but I watch a lot closer. |
I think it is a big club!

I have not had a problem with the bobbin that I didn't recognize immediately. However I did take my sewing maching to be repaired because it wouldn't sew. The reason it wouldn't sew was that it was still in bobbin winding mode.

Since my DH bought me my Janome 10000 that has never happened because the blinking thing is forever beeping. But when it comes to my featherweight.....well your not alone my friend.
|
you are not alone. I don't know how many times I tried to bring my bobbin thread to the top on the quilt I was quilting and it just would do it. Finally took the bobbin out and saw that I had not even pulled the thread throug the guide and catch.

I did that very thing just 2 days ago!

IF you are on THIS site, YOU are never alone!!

I can't be the only one who does things like this: spends 90 minutes and wastes miles of thread before realizing that the problem isn't the machine tension, it's that the bobbin is threaded wrong. D'oh.
