Your bobbin case should have an arrow on it for the correct direction of your bobbin. If you would pull up your bobbin thread (put your quilt under the presser foot like you are going to start sewing) through the fabric - hold onto your top thread and slowly rotate your wheel until you see a loop of thread come up from the bottom - pull it out and then you can hold both the top thread and the bottom thread as you start to sew and you will eliminate the thread nests once and for all. Works EVERY time.
