Bobbins - threading a sewing machine - winding a bobbin



This is episode 2 of Threading a Sewing Machine, where we talk all about bobbins. I walk you through how to insert the bobbin in to it's case, where the tension disks are, and how I put the bobbin in the machine. Remember, it's all about slowing the thread down and controlling it, otherwise you make thread art. For the Wall of Shame.



For tips about threading the top of the machine watch here: https://youtu.be/BLBg_UNiYzw



ALWAYS CHECK your sewing machine manual for the right way to do anything for your personal machine. I'm working on a Bernina 1008, and I love Berninas, not even sponsored.



Let me know if you have any other questions. Or if you'd like one of these kinds of episodes on machine needles.

Threading a Sewing Machine - beginning sewing - get to know your machine...



Get to know your sewing machine and how to thread the top part. You get to see what some of the symbols mean on your machine as well! This is a basic guide, every machine is different, however this tutorial walks you through the essentials. Once you know WHY the thread needs to go a certain way, it'll be easier for you to thread your machine. ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR MANUAL - don't just take my word, read your manual. 

I'll also explain what the hieroglyphics and strange pictograms are on your sewing machine. And once you are able to use your machine better, guess what!? You can mend, alter, and create your own clothes! Yes!
