Did not mean to infer that Singer is not a reputable company.. I have several singer items which I am totally pleased with... just wondering why such a company would market what I consider to be a suboptimal product. Then again, maybe I'm in the minority. What do I know!!!!!!

Can u use a piece of scotch tape to find the end? Just a thought. Good luck!

Oh yes there is an end, I have found them after much frustration and sometimes I just cut a thread and used it till the end popped out..I kept scrapping a knife edge very lightly all around the thing till one loosened up.I think I will try the cardboard ones if they actually have a place one can see the starting thread. But don't give up...they are awfully handy to use..I think in the time it took for me to find the end I could have made two skirts instead of the one seam I was trying to finish..

I was working on a D9P quilt this afternoon and finished all my 9 patch blocks, so I was sewing at a very fast clip and had to put in a new bobbin twice ... sew much fun! I was just now cleaning up the sewing room a bit and was amazed at the amount of lint on my machine and sewing table. Am wondering if the thread in the pre-wounds is extra linty. Has anyone else noticed this?

I have the cardboard prewound and have never had a problem finding an end. I do have to take the cardboard off for them to fit into my machine, though.
|
the ones I bought at the local quilt shop where plastic and I have only had trouble with one,
But I had my machine cleaned an the man said not to use them any more they where not good on the machine, |
in my opinon....write or call Singer and tell them about it
maybe they will send you some good ones. never know |
I was given some prewound bobbins and the end is never hidden........they are loose and easy to find. Might just be the brand. I will be ordering a gross soon and split it with my friend. The only thing is, the bobbin doesn't signal my computerized machine when it's almost empty,.,but I can live with that.
