I made a mistake while bobbin winding on my Babylock Soprano. I'm low on thread-new quilters mistake- and I'm wondering if there is anyway to save it. I was on a roll, making blocks!! Any Babylock users have any advice?? I think I had the thread starting from the top position. Its all lose on the bobbin!!

I've had this happen with my Viking and I put the loosely wound bobbin on the thread spool and wind it onto another bobbin.

Just exactly what I have done!!!

I would also wind it slowly.

I do this too. Even sew with half filled bobbins instead of a spool of thread to use up the bobbins.

Thanks all, I'll try that!

Thanks Onebyone! what a clever idea. I have several that I need to use your tip with. Have been using them to hand sew bindings and such but going to try and sew with them. What a great idea. Grammasharon

Well that's a great solution! I've been sewing for a looonng time, starting in 4H, and never thought of it. Thanks for passing on what probably seems obvious!

It looks way too loose to me. I have sewn with bobbins thread too.

In a learning to sew class I help with, we wind thread onto a bobbin to use as the spool - it means we don't have to have a spool of thread for each machine...we have a bit of a budget crunch in the program!
