Today I was rewinding a few bobbins so they are ready when I need them. While I was doing this I just came upon this thought.Why do the plastic bobbins have so many holes in them and would it make a difference to which hole I put the starter thread in. This may sound dumb but I guess it just entered my mind because I was doing so many at once. Pickle

maybe it has something to do with the manufacturing process.

I don't think it matters which hole you use to put your thread through.

I have wondered that one myself. But, I just chose one and begin winding.

I have never put the thread in any hole. I just wrap the tail around the bobbin a couple time & hold the tail till the bobbin starts winding. I have done it this way for about 60 yrs. now.

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

Agree..

TonnieLoree

Me too!

I have always put the thread through a hole from the middle of the bobbin up and held onto the thread until it wound the bobbin a few times and then cut the lead thread. It always works that way for me, but there are alway many ways of doing everything.

I do it both ways, depending on which machine I am using.
