Guess it could be some kind of a pressure thing, while you are winding the bobbin it gets tight. Don't really know. But they don't all have them. I did read one time that if you drop a bobbin on the floor, you should get rid of it. I wouldn't have any bobbins left. Said it could explode the next time you rewind it. I've never had a problem.

I do not have holes in mine....... and I just wrap it a few times and wind wind wind..... smile

I'm sure they are for structural purposes only...

RE Bobbin winding. I was just wondering why there were so many holes in the bobbin, not how to wind a bobbin.I was just asking a silly question . Pickle

Not a silly question, I thought the same thing when I was rewinding my bobbin yesterday. :roll:

Exactly the way I do it, too!
Works for me!

I rather doubt that. unless i step on them LOOKING for them on the floor, they're fine. I reuse my prewound emb. bobbins all the time for sewing.
they don't have the little hole so i wrap the thread around a few times first.

The holes are for air conditioning, in case the thread get warm while you are sewing so fast.lol

Oh, I still use mine too. They are too expensive to just go throwing them away. I couldn't believe it when I read that. Thought they were crazy.
