How to Spool Thread on Sewing Machine?

Published in Sewing Threading 2 mins read

The provided reference discusses how to retrieve the bobbin thread after spooling, not the actual process of spooling thread onto the bobbin using the sewing machine. Therefore, this response will address how to bring up the bobbin thread after the bobbin has been wound and placed in the machine.

Retrieving the Bobbin Thread

Once your sewing machine is threaded and the bobbin is in place, you need to bring the bobbin thread up through the needle plate. Here's how:

  1. Hold the needle thread gently.
  2. Lower the needle into the needle plate area.
  3. Raise the needle back to its highest position.
  4. Gently pull on the needle thread. According to the reference, "Just pull on this thread. In your hand the needle thread and the bobbin thread should come up to the surface. Like. This."
  5. You should now have a loop of bobbin thread that you can pull up.
  6. Use a pin or your fingers to gently pull the bobbin thread all the way out.

Now both the needle thread and the bobbin thread are on top of the needle plate, ready for you to start sewing.
