Some machines have a bobbin winder with a "rubber tire" that grips the bobbin and causes it to spin. Those rubber tires deteriorate and wear with time and use. They can usually be easily and inexpensively replaced.
You may have the wrong size bobbin or there may be a retaining spring missing...place the bobbin on the shaft if it moves side to side it is the wrong size..if the retaining pin is missing try wrapping a thin piece of tape around the shaft or use a rubber band on the shaft after putting the bobbin on!!
Hi ina.

On the top left side of your machine is a round thread guide which is supposed to create tension and guide the thread. Sometimes the thread comes out of this thread guide and causes the problems you are experiencing. Wrap the thread around this guide one time and you should have your problem resolved.

first you must make sure the winder shaft is turning by moving it to the right a little and see if you can turn it by hand.
If it is turning ok then there is a rubber ring on the other end of the winder shaft and it should come in contact with the drive which turnes it ,if it is worn it might need a new rubber.

If the bobbin is on correctly try crossing the thread before going through the tensioner which should solve this problem and also a more evenly wound bobbin.

It sounds like you don't have any tension on the thread when winding the bobbin. Make sure that you are running the thread through the tension disc on the top of the machine before going to the bobbin winder.

I just figured out why my bobbine was winding on shaft instead of on the bobbin. first of all make sure the bobbin is setting up high enough, top of bobbin needs to be a fraction higher then the bobbin shuttle, next check to make sure there are no burrs on the bobbin, then make sure that the thear is catching in the groove (**** in top) of the bobbin. In order to get mine to wind i had to lett the tread go down and then slip the thread in the groove. also remember to leave the pressure foot up do not put it down. let me know if this helps.
