Threading the Bobbin


Bronze Post Medal for All Time! 169 Posts

Thread pulled through bobbin hole.I have always had trouble getting my thread started on my bobbin before loading it onto the bobbin winder on the sewing machine. It seems that the hole in the bobbin gets smaller every year!

I decided to try my little Dritz needle threader and it works beautifully. Just insert the little wire piece from the outside edge of the bobbin, then push the end of your thread through that and pull it through the hole. Wind it around a couple of times and you are ready for the machine bobbin winder.

You don't have to let a bunch of clear plastic contraptions gain mastery over you! And what is better, you don't have to give up sewing just because you can't see your hand before your face. I remember as a little kid my mama had so much trouble with her sewing. I was a middle age baby so I was underfoot during the time she was struggling with the vision problems and oversized hands. I got my big hands from her.

Total Time: Less than 5 minutes

WOW!!! What a great idea. I'm at the age where I need all the help I can get seeing those little holes and than trying to put that shinny thread through it. Thanks for that tip, I won't mind changing my bobbin.

Am I the only one here that DOES NOT put the thread through the little hole in the bobbin?
I just hold the thread tail against the edge of the bobbin and hand wind the thread maybe 10 times, then put it on the winding mechanism, and the thread stays put for winding.
