Why is my bobbin winding unevenly?

If your bobbin does not wind quickly and smoothly when you press on your foot pedal, your bobbin winder might not be fully engaged. This can cause uneven winding. Make sure you push your bobbin pin all the way over or loosen your bobbin wheel completely to engage your bobbin winding mechanism.

Why is my bobbin messing up?

Bobbin Thread Tangling The bobbin keeps pulling and jamming collecting a lot of thread beneath your fabric. There are several culprits for this ranging from a dull needle, improper threading or tension. The tension in both your upper and bobbin threads need to be even. The bobbin could also be placed incorrectly.

Is a bobbin case necessary?

The top thread will go across the top of the bobbin case, which is why it is so important to use the correct bobbin. If the bobbin is too tall (see my previous post), the thread will catch and seize the machine. In machines with an automatic thread cutter, the bobbin case also helps keep threads in place to cut.
