how do you wind the bobbin
1657700
I use purchase filled bobbins or use a different machine for winding bobbins.

The handibobs do not go in the machine. They just sit on the top of the spool of thread and hold the bobbin until you want to use it. Hope that helps.

No - you just wind the hose around it manually. There is no reel to "wind it up".

Linda: Sorry to hear you're having difficulty. Here are a few suggestions: 1st - Make sure the yarn is able to flow evenly so once you start to crank the winder, you don't have to stop. 2nd. Make sure the longest metal arm is in tightened down and is in a straight line to the hank of spinning yarn. 3rd. When you begin to crank, continue in the same clockwise direction, never stopping. 4th, the yarn should come off the hank at the same level as the winder, not below it and must flow smoothly. I found if I used my dominant hand to crank and my non-dominant hand to help guide the yarn from the "spinning hank", it worked better than just cranking the winder. My first attempt I had trouble with the crank, getting confused as to which direction I was spinning. Made a mess. I assume you are using something for the hank of yarn to spin on while you crank. Won't work without that. Hope this helped you. If you don't have an "umbrella" for the yarn, here's a suggestion:http://www.amazon.com/Stanwood-Needlecraft-Wooden-Umbrella-Winder/dp/B000IG1I8O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1388088237&sr=8-2&keywords=yarn+winder

My Touch & Sew is Model 600E from the 1960s. I wasn't able to find bobbins that worked in it either in local fabric stores or thru Amazon.com. I finally took the machine to a reputable local sewing machine repair shop for servicing. I was promised that with servicing and the proper bobbins (which they sold), the bobbins would wind. So far so good. The bobbins, at .$75 each, were called "white line" bobbins by the shop owner. I'm buying all they have!

Hold the winder steady in the left hand. With the right hand, unscrew the locking nut or cover on the opposite side. Gently pull out the winder and insert in on the right side and use the locking nut/cover to finish the conversion.

Yes. You thread the bobbin at the top of the machine (same as most other Singer machines).

I've never had a problem with the bobbin area. I've been using the machine a great deal in the past 6 months having made 3 full quilts and working on a 4th-and all the piecework and machine quilting that goes with that-so mine is getting a lot of usage. I had one issue with thread but I was using really cheap thread-when I changed it out to the better thread my problem went away (this was on the top end of the machine not the bobbin area). So I would suggest changing the thread, to see if the problem stops.

If you can open up the string cartridge, you can manually wind this on it. I've done this with several different manufacturers, but not a Craftsman.

Open the belt drive cover at the left end of the lathe. Move the bel left or right to icrease or decrease the speed, close the cover. Pretty simple

Yes you can wind the cord any way you like. I have one wound with the male end on the top and another with the female end on the top. With the male end on the top you leave the bucket near the outlet and pull (unwind) the female end of the cord to where you need power. This is more typical. The other way the bucket sits near where you need power and you pull the male end back to where you plug it in. I have several of these buckets. They work great. No more tangled cords. They store easily and you can stack them.

When you manually thread, there are two ways, be sure to thread the needle from the side facing away from you. or take the needle and thread properly and then install in your machine

Wind the cord on to the weed whacker? Really? I'm not sure how else you would wind it, other than by hand. Review your tool's owners' manual or go on youtube. This question is independent of the product sold here and the process is dependent on your specific tool.

No it goes in from the left side It can be a little bit of a challenge However so far the machine is wonderful. The big thing is to oil the bobbin as in the instructions .......

Flip the lever on the bottom. One way it free wheels, the other way it locks the spool from spinning backwards.

There is an attachment that should have came with your sewing machine that keeps the thread on the spindle. There should be a little one and a big round one. You must use this to keep the thread on the spindle. If you dont have one, you should purchase one to get the most out of sewing.

When you are taking out the case with the bobbin inside, you are holding the case by an open latch. Close the latch back unto the case, and the bobbin should come out easy. If it doesn't then something maybe is wrong.
