I am trying to learn how to do shirring and am wondering if this is the part that I can adjust the thread tension for the bobbin? Does anyone know?

If it's just like the one that Brother makes, then yes. There is a tension screw on the bobbin case that you can tighten that should allow it to handle shirring properly. I wouldn't mess with the bobbin tension unless you have another bobbin case that you're using only for shirring because you'll have a difficult time getting it back to factory settings.

Not this one. If you do the threads will be worn and not accept the guide bushings.The same maker has a jig with dedicated non adjustable bushings.

Not really. The bobbin winder is on top by the thread holder. It is easy to thread and easy to use. Then you must put it in the bobbin holder beneath the needle.

I wind Janome bobbins all the time. It works with most machines. There are different sized spindles for different machines.

Hi, Does your new machine have a metal throat plate? ( that is the plate that goes under the sewing foot which the needle passes through as it goes down and catches the bobbin thread) If you have the metal plate the Dritz Magnetic Seam Guide should work with not problem. The great thing about the magnetic guide for me is when I sew a hem in place or have a seam that is deeper than one inch I measure out from the needle to the depth of the seam or hem and attach the guide to the metal throat plate and as I sew the edge of the fabric is sliding through against the guide and I have a perfect seam. Good luck with your new sewing "toy" and have fun sewing ! I hope this answered your question. Happy Sewing Ells3

You can use regular spools and wind the bobbin with anything. It does reverse. The only thing wrong with this is the noise. And starting the seam is tricky because it pulls the thread out of the needle if you don't hold the thread.

sorry i can't help you. I bought it for my Elna and a small Brother (my go to class machine and I like it) but it doesn't fit either. It was a screw size and I couldn't get it off to try a larger size.; no hole on the Brother. I have macular and i am looking for all kinds of help for sewing straight seams. Interesting I asked Vking and other dealers and they didn't know anything about it. Bernina has a complicated one and very expensive and it probably won't fit. A famous quilt designer and artist Patrick Lose on a youtube video used his and the site had a disclaimer on it and said they had so many inquiries that said to check your dealer. HA! non know anything.

Turn the handwheel until the needle is all the way to the left position and the green dots are lined up vertically. Making sure the thread guide is at its highest position, put the thread through the loop. Bring it down and thread it through the top hole, making sure the thread is ABOVE the stitch length dial. After threading through the top hold, bring the thread around and thread it through the bottom hole, also from back to front. Drape it over the thread tension adjuster, making sure the tension is not too tight. It must go through there easily. In front of the thread tension adjuster is another hole. Thread it through that and into the hold just on the other side of it. When you see the thread coming through into the machine, using tweezers, put it through the hook to hold it in place and then, using a needle threader, pull the thread through the needle from back to front. Thread should come out of needle facing you. I have found that using cone thread is easier than spool thread, although with some playing around with the adjustments, spool thread will do if its your only color match to the fabric. Make sure you double check the threading procedure as sometimes the thread goes under the stitch length dial or its not threaded through the thread tension adjuster properly. It's hard to explain without a drawing, but I'm not sure how to scan and put it on here for you. Also note that a blind hemmer has no bobbin thread. Hope this helps!

I love the results of the metallic thread but found it difficult to embroider with because it tangles so easily didn't matter whether I use the spindle on the sewing machine or whether I use my separate thread feeder it still twisted so my suggestion would be whatever you dofor feeding, loosen your tension and make sure to keep your design small and simple

It depends on what you are sewing. I'm using just regular heavy duty thread and it works great. It takes a while to get the hang of the machine but it works great. If you have a real heavy duty application, you're going to need a real heavy duty thread. The thread that came with it was 1/16" or thereabouts. It's much heavier than you need for most applications.

I have a brother machine, you can change the default needle position to whichever you like, check your manual. Mine is not as fancy as this one, in fact that is why I am here - contemplating purchasing this machine, but on my hc185 you can change the needle position, so I would assume you can on this model as well

I had the same problem when I first started using mine. Try rethreading and reinserting your bobbin and start again. Somehow my machine has stopped doing this, but I never figured out why it did it in the first place since my thread and bobbin seemed to be just fine.

I am sorry I don't know the thread pattern. I thought it was a course thread?But don't remember for sure. I know once I traded knob on you place the plugIn aligned straight across. Sorry I don't know the thread side, guess 7/16??Lee

I don't think it would work with elastic thread, in fact, the product did not work well at all. I would not buy this particular bobbin winder, it wound the thread lopsided and without equal tension, piece of junk!

I just purchased this machine and one of the selling points was the needle threader! I have NEVER been able to use a threader on any machine I've owned. I tried it in the store and the first time it threaded like a charm! And it has worked ever since. I LOVE the needle threader on my Juki!

I don't think where you load the bobbin matters. You do have to remove the part that holds the presser foot on - the walking foot screws onto the shaft. Not a problem. I have used mine several times and a really pleased. Hope this helps.
