The only suggestion I have is if you can move the thread guide out about twice the distance from the bobbin and lower the guide hole down closer to the center of the bobbin it will fill the bobbin more evenly. kgg Quote

MeeeooooooWWWWWW. I see he's already left his inspection hairs all over the machine! My cat is just as bad...... gotta love 'em. Quote
