    My grandmother tought me how to thread a sewing machine when I was a kid I used to sew all the time now I'm 44 years old and I completely forgot this is a great tutorial to get me back sewing I have a brand new sewing machine in the closet I haven't used ever because I couldn't get it threaded thanks

    When threading a bobbin, the woman did not use the thread tensioner provided on the left side of the machine on top. Instead, she ran the thread directly to the bobbin, which can cause tangling issues sometimes. The proper way is to run the thread from the spool, around the tensioner, then to the bobbin. If the tensioner is set to the proper tension, the thread will wind on the bobbin in an even pattern and you probably will not have to guide the thread with your fingers to fill the bobbin evenly. Most importantly, the chances of tangling the thread as it comes off the bobbin while you sew are reduced.

    Thank you. I spent forever trying to load my darn bobbin back into the machine before realizing I just needed help. Your short and sweet demo did the trick!

    Thanks for putting this up.
    It just so happens that the ancient White 477 machine uses the same kind of oscillating sewing hook motion and bobbin case/carrier, only the carrier/bobbin is perpendicular to the Baby Lock bobbin arrangement. (as an aside, Kenmore is set up similarly to your Baby Lock BL9 . Baby Lock provides an online maintenance manual that lists all critical setup distances and timings.)
    So by watching your video, plus one other, a Kenmore, I was able to see what was out of time on the 477, and set it up accordingly... and now it works correctly.

    honey, the lil small wheel towards the front on the top of your machine, if you put the thread around that and THEN back to the bobbin when threading the bobbin, it judges the tension and automatically allows the thread to go up and down evenly on your bobbin, without needing to use your finger at all

  • @Speedfly1

    To correction things.
    1. Spooling your bobbing. It got a tightener it is the little black nob at the first eye when you thread your machine. Pull the thread towards you, when you come to the black nob go around it, and back to the bobbing. YES the tread CROSSES IT SELF on the nob. that's the point self tightening.
    2. You used the "selftighting nob for spooling" in your main threading of the machine. It is NOT part of main treading. See above in number 1.
    All this is according to my manuale for the sewing machine. Best Regards.

    Three funny things in this video: 1) thread should, I think, go from inside bobbin to out, then trimmed at the end (not from out to in; 2) the bobbin winding should go around the tension button at the other end of the machine; and 3) Why not release the clutch so the needle doesn't go up and down?

    I know this video is old but I’m at a bit of a loss. I have the newer version of this machine and even when I thread everything right the top threads always and up getting caught in the hookrace. I’ve adjusted the bobbin tension and the top thread tension but no luck. The company I bought it from aren’t helping either. Any ideas?

    @eveny119 11 років тому

    I bought a small 'second hand' machine, and the thread keeps breaking? Might be the tension doesn't adjust?
    Also there isn't a bobbin cover, the bobbin just drops in...or is it missing? Does the thread direction matter clockwise or counter?
    Is it me or is it hopelessly broken?
