 How to Wind the Bobbin

 

Before you thread the singer 500a  and make fun stitches, and have crazy adventures in sewing, you must wind a bobbin. To wind the bobbin, loosen the stop motion wheel by turn the gold part away from you and the white part towards you.
Open the top lid, place the thread on the spool pin and lead the it between the tension disks.
Pull the thread around the post towards the bobbin.
Put the thread in the bobbin and up out of one of the top holes. Position the bobbin on the spindle and engage the latch by pressing it against the  bobbin. Hold the thread and push the foot pedal, the bobbin will stop spinning when it is full of thread. When it is done, tighten the stop motion wheel. You are now ready to learn about the different settings and start sewing.
