Just wondering if anyone else has this problem..I looked in the vintage 128 topics and didnt see it..........when I wind the bobbins on it, it doesnt place the thread evenly...does not quite go to the right edge of the bobbin, and puts too much thread not quite on the end, on the right side, as its winding..is there somekind of adjustment that can be made? any suggestions appreciated.

Here's a good website page from Treadleon that might explain what's happening:

Here is Treadle Lady's video showing how to wind it and she also shows how you can bypass the little thing that winds it on and let your fingers guide the thread.

Even with my new machine I sometimes have to "bump" the thread a little bit while it's winding onto the bobbin to get it all the way over to one side.

On one machine I "Bump" it...cause I haven't taken the time to adjust the last guide yet.
Can you post pictures of the front of the machine so we can help identity what piece to adjust?

The modern repro bobbins are about 3/32" too short for the bobbin winder on the 28/128 to fill the bobbins evenly. You will get a dog bone effect or the thread will fall off the end of the bobbin and wind onto the pin.
If you can find some vintage long bobbins, it might solve this problem, but if you can't, it's pretty easy to guide the thread on with your fingers. :)
