I tried your method and it really works. Thanks for the tip.

Here is a picture of mine, a Brother LB6800.

I take and wind several bobbins at one time then all I have to do is switch them out. I think I have almost 20 spares that I fill at one time. Takes a lot of thread at once, but I use the same neutral color for all my quilting.

Thanks for the picture. Now I see. My Pfaff, Viking, and Kenmore are not set up that way.

Thanks! That is what makes this site so amazing!!

The first electronic Singer in the early 70's had the bobbin that you threaded while it was still in the machine and the machine remained threaded. It was wonderful.

My new Singer Quartet has a separate motor for winding bobbins. I can be winding a bobbin and sewing at the same time!

I wondered what you were talking about. I have 5 machines and not one has the elliptical thingy.

If you put more thread on the bobbin, does it work OK? I think it might be like when you put too much line on a fishing rod, you could wind up with a bird's nest of line. I wouldn't want to mess things up on my machine. (He just came back from the doctor's today, after his cleaning and checkup. LQS owner said that my "hook" was damaged, he had to replace my bobbin case, and something about the stitch regulator.) Now he runs like a charm! Yay!

I love my sidewinder. It's the greatest.
