Video on how to thread bobbin
1891508
At the present time, we don't have a specific video for threading the bobbin of the SINGER model 160 sewing machine. The directions for bobbin winding are, though, well illustrated in the instruction manual. Be sure to use only SINGER Class 15J bobbins in your machine, as this is the only style of bobbin that is specified for use with this machine. Additional bobbins are also available at Amazon.

You release the bobbin nut by, pulling the RED NOB out, that holds the threaded bobbin (be careful not to discard or lose the spring attached) then just release bobbin off machine.

I agree with the other answer, check for lint under the black bobin casing. You will need to unscrew your throat plate. Also, if it is too tight on the bottom try loosening the top. If it is too loose on the bottom try tightening the top. Most tension problems can be fixed on top. Most of the time the bobbin tension is the last place to adjust. My students sometimes will have tension problems if they have the thread caught incorrectly in the first catch of the threading before step 1 of the threading process. Try that first. 90 percent of tension problems are fixed by changing the upper thread tension and by re threading.

This machine is only set up for thread. Yarn would get bogged down in the bobbin case. You should look at commercial sewing machines to use with yarn. :)

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.

Yes. Your machine should have an accessory pack that includes a plastic attachment that keeps the spool of thread on. If you don't have one, you can take a piece of styrofoam and push it through the thread post to hold the spool on.

It is a little difficult to thread at first but after doing it a couple of times I have it working. They do send a very nice instructional video with step by step instructions, a manual and the treading tracks by color are shown on the machine. I do not know anything about the Brother

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.

No...just wind some thread onto some bobbins and put them on the spindles instead of entire cones...at least, that's what I do. You can buy larger bobbins for industrial machines that will hold more thread and you won't run out in the middle of a project like I have done before on the smaller bobbins. It doesn't matter what kind of bobbins you use as long as they fit on the spindles.

I wouldn't know as mine isn't a Brither, but most machines should have a rewinder built into them. On the top of the machine you can load a bobbin and then rewind onto it.

Hold on to the small collar just below the spout while you twist the spout counter-clockwise. It's threaded.

I'm not sure, but did find a lot of tutorials on you tube. Hope that helps!

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.

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!

There is no thread. There is a hole if you want to nail it. I just slide an extension on to it.

I had not try them with Mettler threads until now, they do work. You have to push the Handi Bobs a little hard and they stay and go all the way in. I am loving this thing, keep the bobbins organize better.
