Threading a shuttle Singer sewing machine involves properly inserting the bobbin into the shuttle and guiding the thread through the correct paths. Here's a breakdown of how to do it:
Threading the Bobbin Shuttle
The shuttle is a critical component that holds the bobbin and interacts with the needle to form stitches. Correctly threading it is essential for proper sewing. The following steps are based on the reference video Singer 127 and Singer 128 Vintage Sewing Machine: How to Thread...
- Bobbin Placement: Place your left finger on the end of the bobbin.
- Thread the Shuttle: Draw the thread down into the long slot of the shuttle as far as it will go.
Understanding the Shuttle System
The shuttle system in vintage Singer sewing machines is a horizontal system. The bobbin sits inside a shuttle that moves back and forth, carrying the bobbin thread. The interaction between the needle thread and the bobbin thread creates a lockstitch.
