How do you load a front loading bobbin?
I'm assuming you're talking about winding a bobbin on a sewing machine? If so, there is a post similar to the one for thread (near it) that you put the empty bobbin on. Then you put your spool of thread where it goes on the machine. You wind your thread from the spool of thread to the bobbin (there's usually a little chart on your machine, but if not, the thread goes through a hook or two and then you wind it about 4 times around the bobbin (clockwise). In newer machines you then push the bobbin toward a holder type thing that is near it. This disengages the needle from going up and down and lets the machine wind the thread as you push the pedal. On older machines, you have to turn the handle of the machine toward you and it disengages the needle, allowing the bobbin to be filled when you press the pedal. Hope this helps! You could probably google your sewing machine name and how to thread a bobbin and maybe get a diagram.
What do you need to check your bobbin has enough of?
You need to check a bobbin for proper tension on the thread. Which if incorrect the sewing machine will often not sew properly.
Do you need to have bobbins for your sewing machine?
I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but if it is "WHAT IS a sewing machine bobbin?" then I can help. The sewing machine bobbin is the round "wheel" like part that holds the thread under the sewing needle. In the older machines it was metal, and in the newer machines it is mainly plastic. Mostly, these bobbins are not interchangeable from one machine to the next. Each sewing machine brand requires its' own specific bobbin. Without the bobbin (with thread on it!) a machine is unable to sew.
How do I get the bobbin out of the bobbin case?
Depends on the machine brand. To determine which way to load the bobbin into the bobbin case you need to determine which way the slot is facing that the tread slides into prior to it slipping under the tension clip. Hold the bobbin case with the opening away from you with the slot facing up. If the slot on the bobbin case is facing to the left put the bobbin into the case with the thread spinning the bobbin counter clockwise. If the slot on the bobbin case faces to the right put the bobbin into the case with the thread spinning the bobbin clockwise.
What to do if your sewing machine won't sew?
Check and see if the bobbin thread is wound/jamming the feeder, if so carefully remove the bobbin & the thread. Clean out any loose thread bits and any thread/fabric dust. If this doesn't work try cleaning and oiling your sewing machine. Once you have done these things rethread your sewing machine, check the bobbin to make sure the thread is on correct (if it is too loose or not on smoothly you may need to reload your bobbin), replace the bobbin in the holder and test on scrap fabric that you are sewing so as to set the tenion of the thread. Always refer to your sewing machines mannal also.
When done with an embroidery how do you pull the top thread through to the underside to tie it off?
You thread a needle with the thread you want to pull through, pass the needle into the material slightly within the margins of the pattern and pull the thread through. You don't really have to pull the top thread through to tie off because the stitch density is high enough to lock the thread, you can clip close. If you feel the need, unpick a few stitches (don't rip them, unravel the top and bobbin threads) until you have enough length to work with, pull the top thread through the fabric with the bobbin thread ad tie them together. When you change top thread, lay a short tail of the previous color and the new thread across the next pattern section and the thread will be locked. Same idea when you change the bobbin thread
How wind a bobbin on a singer touch sew 600?
Set the stitch width to #3, the stitch length to reverse, and the selection dial to AK (straight stitch). Open bobbin casing door by sliding it toward you. Remove old bobbin if necessary by lifting metal latch and simply pulling bobbin out. Place empty bobbin in bobbin casing (small disc side down) and replace latch. To the left of the bobbin casing is a tiny metal circular button that doesn't actually look like a button, it just looks like it might be part of the machine, push it down. If it is too hard to push then it might need a little bit of oil. Push it until it locks down. Keep the sliding door open. Okay, take a breath. : ) Thread the machine as you would normally would, instead of sliding the tail of thread under the foot, just thread the needle and gently wrap the tail around the knob that is on the left side of the foot just once,(the screw that allows you to change feet), continue holding the thread and now push the pedal at a moderately speed to wind the bobbin. Congrats, you did it!
What type of bobbin does singer 6038 need?
You will need a 66 k bobbin
Why would a sewing machine fail to pick up the bobbin thread?
1. Unwind about 3 or 4 inches of thread from the bobbin. Insert wound bobbin into bobbin case. 2. Pull trailing thread into the slot of case. 3. Pull thread to the left under the tension spring until thread enters into delivery eye. 4. Holding bobbin case latch with the metal finer of case pointing up, fit it into the notch at the top of the shuttle race. 5. Release latch and push case back making sure the case is in the proper position. Close slide plate. Note: The thread drawn out of the case is to be left hanging below the race. Leave about 5-6 inches of thread hanging. If this doesn't fix your problem, your machine (made by Brother) may need tuning because the needle isn't in the proper position as the hook comes around to catch the bobbin thread. A repairman that can fix a Brother, Kenmore or Singer will be familiar with this machine.
When you have hand wind the elastic on the machine and have everything in place but the material don't gather what do you do?
Using elastic thread in the bobbin doesn't make the material gather, you have to do it yourself. This is called shirring. You'll need to use a zigzag stich, make several rows of stitching, secure the top thread and the elastic thread on one edge of the fabric and then pull the elastic threads on the other edge to produce the gathering or shirring.
Why when sewing an x on squares does it pucker?
If your fabric is puckering, you need to check your thread tension and adjust as needed until you have flat stitching. Another solution would be to completely untread and rethread your machine and rewind the bobbin using a medium speed for the thread loading.
What do you need to applique?
In order to sew you need fabric, a needle, and thread. Some people find it helpful to sew projects using a pattern, which gives them step by step instructions. You may need other materials, like buttons and scissor, to sew a full project.
