Well, it's no big deal, just curious. Frankly, I can barely see the hole and then I usually drop the bobbin before I get it up to the winder thingy. And if I start getting irritated, then I might as well stop. Both ways work.

Threading that bobbin hole is worse than threading quilting needles! I wind the thread a few times and go. Never have had a problem with this method.

I'm a winder. In fact, after over 60 years of sewing, I just recently found out what the hole was for!!!

Same here and I hold on to the thread for a bit to make sure it doesn't tangle.

I have Janome machines. On one of their web sites it suggests putting thread thru hole and put about a 1/2" down the center hole before mounting it to wind. I do this now. When it's full I trim thread close at hole on top of bobbin.

I have always put the thread through the little hole, never even thinking I could do it another way! Now I will try it your way, and see how I do.

I am guilty as charged…and to date I've never encountered any problems because of it.

I learned in my first Home Ec. class to put the thread through any hole from inside the bobbin to the top, hold on tight and wind; the tail end breaks off flush with the edge of the bobbin. That's the way I've done every bobbin I've ever wound, and that's a bunch! I do it when the bobbin's already mounted on the winder, so is way quicker for me than trying to start it by winding a bit.
