I will sometimes take the pointed end of a seem ripper and lightly run it across the spool or bobbin. It tends to loosen the top string. Have patience, this might take a few tries.

I use superior prewound bobbins and never have a problem finding the starting thread with them.

I have bought both kinds and can not use the prewound plastic ones. I also threw out those. I love the ones on cardboard.

I have the same problem with another brand. I take a straight pin and run it up and down to see if I can find the start. Somtimes if you look really carefully you can barely see where it is tucked but it is a pain and my eyes aren't what they used to be.

i love the pre wound part of it but i couldn't use them again they wouldn't wind on my machine ended up throwing them away (waste), i also used a pin to tug out end
|
I use prewound bobbins all the time. I get them from Discount Embroidery [email protected] and have never had a problem. What I really like is that they now come in colors.
|
I love my sidewinder bobbin winder. Whenever I sit down to sew, I wind sone bobbins.
|
sorry never saw a reason for them. i just wind a bunch of bobbins on my bobbin winder while i watch tv and always have plenty already wound and store them in small medicine bottles. when i need a color then i will wind a bunch of those for that project.
