This is one that I wish I’d thought of myself! But I didn’t.

Getting a bobbin started can be tricky – keeping the thread taut when you start winding can be an issue. Here’s a perfect solution to that problem!

Just had to share it.

Note: If your bobbin has a curved top, as my Pfaff bobbins do, be sure to thread through the groove in the flat bottom side, bring the thread through the centre toward the curved top.

Turns out there isn’t a “hole” in the bottom of the bobbin! Here’s how I figured out how to do this – thread the bobbin in the normal fashion, then – take your tread from the top to the bottom of the centre hole. Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder, thread coming out of the bottom of the bobbin, trim the thread against the bobbin. Then press the button to make the bobbin thread – hands free! That’s the best part – threading the bobbin is now hands free (the way it is on my Brother Quilter! Yeah!
