Lighten Up Girls ! It just occured to me when I was winding up a bobbin if everyone does it like I do. No biggie, not sayin' what's right or wrong. Just think it's funny that I happen to do it that way. LOL I'm a funny girl, not a serious seamtress. Trust your experience, I always say. No shame here, just making light of it ! Happy Sunday !

Actually, I do both! Plus I kinda finger guide the thread until the bobbin gets a few layers on it. lol

It seems to me you're doing it the hard way, but whatever works is perfectly okay by me. The bobbin police will never know if you don't tell.

I put it through the hole but stop and cut it off once it catches. I think you get a better wound bobbin that way.

I Do thread it through the little hole. I also wind it around the tension disks on top the the machine in an "8". I had problems with messy bobbin spools, and had bought the Sidewinder (which was a pain in the whats-it) until I learned to thread so there was more resistance, hold the thread until it breaks or has enough wound to stop and snip it.

I always use the little hole and hold the end until it winds up a little, then I cut the excess thread....no problems.

All my DM machines, I thread through the hole, wind a little, stop and cut the thread. On my HQ(mid arm) I have to wrap around the bobbin, it does not a hole to use.

Do whatever works!

That's what I do too now. And it keeps the loose end, when you get to it, at the bottom of the bobbin and less chance of tangles in the bobbin case.

If I wound by hand I just know I'd be winding the wrong way each time and when I pushed the pedal the thing would probably unwind instead...lol

There is no shame in that - it's what it do - ya have to do what works for you!
