Installing Sewing Machine Bobbin

A bobbin is a small spool of thread that feeds the thread for the backside of the stitch. No sewing machine can sew without one. An incorrectly set up bobbin will create tangles in the thread. Bobbin setups vary from machine to machine. This guide shows the process for a Bernina 830, but the process will be similar for most sewing machines, except for those with drop-in bobbins. Refer to your sewing machine’s owner’s manual for specific directions on how to install a bobbin in your machine.

Love it! Thank you for posting this as my wife has had to fix things on her sewing machine and it's good to have a reference other than Youtube where you can sit down and read it and make adjustments accordingly!

Thank you for giving a good detailed answer that I had with the insertion of the bobbin on the sewing machine. I took a crash course today, came home and this evening decided to go through what I had learned and ran into a snag. I was able to overcome what was incorrect. Again, thanks a bunch 🧵
