I put the thread thru the little hole, wind a few times, stop and trim thread and then let it wind. If I don't my bobbin doesn't want to wind it just spins. I wind 5-6 each of white, black, and navy or 2 of other colors for large projects at one time so I don't have to stop and re-thread in between projects. I make clothing and do alterations as well as being a newbie at quilting.

I dont share your shame because in my world there is no shame in how you thread a bobbin.

I usually put the bobbin on the bobbin winder and then stitck the thread end throught a hole in the bobbin and hold it for the first few turns.

I always put the thread in the hole and hold it until it starts winding. While it's winding, I hold my small scissors up to it to cut it off. i could wait and cut it off after, but I just like doing that.

I just have to ask...When you fill your bobbin, Do you stick the thread in the tiny whole on the top of the bobbin & hold it while it winds ? My shame is I just wrap the thread around the bobbin a bit until I can "take off" with it winding away. Sometimes I do it correctly but rarely. I've always done it that way ! do you share my shame ?

Viking Sapphire - no little holes. I miss them. I always get some windy snarls that sometimes cause problems when getting to the end of a bobbin.
|
I'm a wrapper! I lick the end of the thread and it sticks to the bobbin and winds nicely.
|
Through the hole and hold it,then snip it off once it gets started, continue winding.

I thread the hole, hold on to the thread until it has several winds, and snip the tail close to the surface. I think this comes from taking Home Ec classes with a teacher (sew police) standing over you.
