I...Sewandsow- I understand exactly your problem. I've had the same issue more often than I'd like to admit. I do pretty much like Quilter4Charity above and the others below, but sometimes I'm careless. **starts to wind bobbin, checks email on phone** I hold the thread as it starts and usually use my finder to gently nudge the thread so it winds close to the hole in the bobbin first.<br /><br />What likely happened when I wound this bobbin was I held the thread tail too long, causing it to twist against itself and I must have given it enough slack to curl back through the hole before I cut the tail. Cutting that tail as close as possible after it's wound is a big help!Amy @ Amy's FMQ Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249397590865683398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-75543013617461893922015-12-03T10:34:17.688-05:002015-12-03T10:34:17.688-05:00right on!

I hold this tail while the bobbin winds for a couple of seconds, stop the winding, snip the thread with curved snippers that can snip close to the bobbin, and then continue winding. I've not had an issue since learning to do this.QUILTER4CHARITYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01823041392281577559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445986501162780215.post-49510964443553154782015-12-03T08:40:14.072-05:002015-12-03T08:40:14.072-05:00Great post!

I did discover that on my 6600 you need to leave at least 1/2 to 1" of thread tail while the bobbin is winding. (You can let go of it after the bobbin has wound several times around to anchor the thread.) After it is wound completely then you need to cut that tail off to about 1/8" or the hook can get confused and try to pick it up instead of the ral bobbin thread. That ca cause problems with your stitching too! Hope that helps sewandsow above. I love your blog and read every post.

The beginning of the bobbin thread comes loose and gets pulled up along with the regular bobbin thread when I am sewing(hope I am explaining this clearly). How much thread do you pull through the hole on top of the bobbin when you wind it and when do you let go of this piece during the winding process? Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.sewandsowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335587528719340596noreply@blogger.com
