Got a "new to me" bobbin and it keeps cutting the thread. Any suggestions on how to fix it?


On average, your heart beats 100,000 times a day. One day, one of those heartbeats will be your last. Then what?

The answer is found in Jesus Christ who said "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10

I'm sure someone else will be along to help in a few minutes, but in the mean time, look at the end of it and see if there are any burrs. Does it have a ceramic insert? If not, that could be the problem.

I have several bobbins, but only one favorite.

No ceramic insert.

That possibly might be why. I've heard you can glue a bead in, but I personally haven't tried to. I bought a couple of the cheap ones like that, but never use them. They didn't cut my thread, I just don't like the feel of them.

Run a q-tip and the edges and see if it snags... As far as suggestions, I really like ceramic tips.

Although I've not had any problems other than dropping a few. The dropped ones got dinged and needed polishing. I used a pointed felt wheel on my dremel with a bit of rubbing compound and it made then "slick as a whistle"

Tesion on those type of bobbin is critical. You may want to spread the legs a bit and see if that helps.
