My machine is a Viking (very basic Viking which still cost over $800 12 years ago, thank u mom) and the bobbin loads much different. It loads on the top of the machine and in front of the feed area. I remember an instructor I had once said the singers are difficult to thread the bobbin and I remember my mom having trouble, I wonder if this is why. Mine doesn't have an extra piece to load the bobbin into. Although it doesn't look like a big deal to me. One comment I wanted to make on the clockwise subject is on the Viking machine I was always told use only their bobbins and insert with the logo up. I'm guessing if this is done both during bobbin winding and inserting it will wind the correct direction. Not sure if that is universal or not. Will have to look. I'm in no way an expert, in fact I need a bunch of help. And patience. For instance I never knew what the hole in the bobbin was for. I just wrapped some thread around the base of the bobbin a few times before I started to wind. Duh!!! I wonder why I don't sew much. I'm so hoping a few more tutorials will help. I always find myself rushing thru things and making mistakes like not catching both edges when sewing bias tape in. Is there a tutorial for that???? I need some help. Probably the kind I can't get here or for less than 250 an hour from a person with far too many initials after there name .

She never showed me this trick, but the one thing that she does is, while she is sewing her project, she keeps a bobbin in the threading area and fills the bobbin as she does her regular sewing. That way she never has to stop, she just changes out bobbins. I've always hated filling the bobbin and you just made my life so much simpler. Thank you.

I have sewn for years, but ended up with a different machine about two years ago and my previous one experienced a minor accident (thanks to my son). Honestly, I could never figure out how to load the bobbin as my last was a drop in and go system. Because of this, I reverted back to hand sewing everything I was working on. Now I can use my new (second hand) machine!
