Introduction
Threading the bobbin on a Singer sewing machine is an essential step to ensure smooth and efficient stitching. The properly threaded bobbin helps in creating balanced tension between the top thread and the bobbin thread, resulting in even and beautiful stitches.
Step-by-step Instructions
Follow these steps to thread the bobbin on your Singer sewing machine:
- Start by turning off the sewing machine and unplugging it for safety.
- Locate the bobbin winder on your Singer sewing machine. It is usually positioned on the top-right side of the machine.
- Place the empty bobbin onto the bobbin winder spindle. Ensure it is securely positioned.
- Take the end of the thread and pass it through the small hole in the side of the bobbin.
- Hold the end of the thread with one hand and turn the bobbin winder clockwise with the other hand to lock it in place.
- Keep holding the end of the thread and begin operating your sewing machine at a slow speed. The bobbin will start winding with the thread.
- Make sure to stop the machine when the bobbin is about 75-80% full. Overfilling may cause issues during sewing.
- Cut the thread, release the bobbin winder, and remove the bobbin from the spindle.
- Place the filled bobbin into the bobbin case, ensuring the thread is unwinding in a clockwise direction.
- Pass the thread through the tension spring and into the thread slot firmly.
- Finally, pull out a few inches of thread and close the bobbin case cover.
