Bobbin winding problem on Singer Featherweight

Bobbin winding problem on Singer Featherweight
Neither of my FW machines will wind a bobbin evenly. The bobbin winders seems to be working correctly, but the thread builds up more on one side of the bobbin than the other. Is there some sort of an adjustment to correct this problem? Is it the bobbin, machine, or the operator at fault?
TIA

not all that complicated... I was forgetting it had a tension type guide. I'm thinking the Spartan or maybe some of the 99s just have a little guide and you can't do much with those.

I get more great info that I did not know before by reading this Vintage and Antique column. I could google all day and never learn as much as I do here. This piece of info I am sure will be useful in my future old machine usage. Thanks for asking and answering.
