The first bobbin I did was fantastic. Now, I can't get it to fill a bobbin without turning itself off three or four times before it is finished. Any ideas? I've double checked my threading sequence. It is the same thread (all I have currently is the big Star spools of Coats & Clark 100% cotton - linty but otherwise doing fine).

There are some adjustments that come with the instructions. I find that if I just gently touch the thumb lever that engages the bobbin with the tip of one finger,that keeps it from stopping early. Also make sure the tension isn't too tight.

Ah. I was afraid to mess with the tension on it. Although, my husband just wound a perfect bobbin when he took a look at it.

Apparently it was just me! I will have to experiment. Thank you!
