How to fill a bobbin - Sewing Machines

You may have already done these steps but when my bobbin stops/starts while filling it I do these steps.
1. Check the thread path to the bobbin area for your machine.
2. Make sure the bobbin is all the way down on the winding spindle.
3. Make sure the bobbin is pushed all the way to the right.
4. Check to make sure the bobbin edges aren't dragging on the guide. I've had this happen and the bobbin will "slip".
If the bobbin is almost full the guide will push it away to keep from over-filling it.
You should be able to control the speed of the bobbin fill the same as you do the sewing feed. Going too fast may also cause the bobbin fill to skip.
Good Sewing!

hi Beverly.
you have not said what make and model.
but try this.
Always wind the bobbin before threading the machine and needle.

1. Place spool of thread on spool pin.
2. Slide spool pin holder/cap firmly over rim of spool to prevent thread from tangling.
3. Push bobbin winder pin to far left if it is not already there.

Um, you cannot fill a bobbin while it is loaded in the shuttle. To fill the bobbin, you have to remove it from the machine, go through other threading sequences and wind the bobbin on the outside of the machine. If you'd provide us with the make & model of your machine, we could probably help. With the information we've been provided, there's not much we can do.

You could stop the bobbin filling process just before the bobbin is "full."
Most machines have a finger that rides against the area being filled; maybe this is bent?

Are you pushing the bobbin presser against the bobbin (Pg 14, Step 4, Part 3 bottom of page). Usually, pressing that bar and locking it against the bobbin will activate the bobbin winding mechanism. (Make sure the bobbin is seated all the way down in the bobbin holder.)

As the bobbin winds and fills with thread, it pushes that bar out. When the thread reaches a certain level in the bobbin, the bar is pushed out and releases, stopping the bobbin winding mechanism.

Please first up on needle bar (Pressre foot). Then take one small screw driver or big needle put on bobbin center before some 3 or 6 times wring some thread ,then put on the bobbin machine wheel side after machine start slow and correctly you fill the bobbin.

check the bobbin winder spindle... can you slide it to the right or left? If so do that.

is it still under warrenty where you can take it back?

Take it to a Janome dealer for repair.

Does the winder spin freely by hand? If so then it needs to be adjusted, maybe a new bobbin tire also. If not then try oiling it and freeing it up by hand.
Hope this helps.
