Another way is to add a bit of tension to the thread as it winds onto the bobbin. I don't like "squishy" bobbins. As the thread is coming off the spool, before it goes through the path to the bobbin, just let the thread run between two fingers. The extra tension makes a huge difference in how much thread goes on a bobbin.

When is someone going to invent a machine that uses a second spool of thread that magically runs from the top of the machine, through the bottom of the machine where a bobbin would have once been inserted..
Ahhh..one can dream.

I recently bought an old Frister Rossman machine and I could not believe how much thread the bobbin holds. One of my pupils has been sewing a lap size quilt on it and the bobbin is still about 2/3rds full so I am not going to mess about with it, but thanks for the tip.
