For Every Blessing...

There is another post somewhere here where the poster said he rigged up a domestic sewing machine motor to drive a bobbin winder. He kept the foot speed control and locked it at the speed he wanted.

Another good reason to wind the bobbins separately is so you can observe and control how the thread is laying in the bobbin. Hard to observe this while sewing. I imagine some bobbin winders do a better job than others, so not necessarily needed for all cases.

Sorry for the late reply but yes, with the larger bobbin it does take some time. I errupted in laughter and thought I would share. As for winding while I sew...Dirtcold, that's pretty amazing. I think I have ruined enough leather to try and learn that trick.

I guess I will just have marathon winding sessions on my cluth set up before jumping back on my servo machine.

All the best,

Yea it's a pretty hard trick to learn !!!! You may want to wait till you get some more time on your machine before you try it !!

Adjust and thread your bobbin winder right, you might want to let the thread twice around the tension disk and loosen up the tension a bit to get consistensy in your winding. It is more that one way to do it, ask the guys in the factories. They do not hire a person to wind bobbins, they adjust the winder right.
