how do you fill the bobbin
1422947
The bobbin is filled in the "traditional" way -- not in the bobbin case. You put the bobbin on the little post on the right on the top of the machine, push it to the right to disengage the needle from going up and down, thread the thread through the hole in the top of the bobbin, and start the machine. When the bobbin is full, you remove it and put it in the bobbin case, beneath the plate by the presser foot, and return the bobbin-winding post to the left position, which re-engages the sewing action.

The bobbin size of 15J is the only bobbin that is supposed to be used with this machine. Have you checked to make sure your needle is not bent? I have learned so much by going to You Tube and typing in Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 and Strikesmyfancy has a whole series of videos that shows how to operate this machine. One of the first videos shows exactly how to insert the bobbin. Hope this helps.

This product has nothing to do with the type of machine you use. The bobbin portion is adjustable, and tightens to make a snug fit around the bobbin, then inserts into the center opening of the spool.That way it simply attaches a bobbin to spool of thread. Very handy and keeps things neat.

Drop bobbin in with thread going counter clockwise. At the 10 o'clock pull thread through notch on inside of bobbin case and down to 7 o clock position through slot and up to 8 or 9 o clock position. If it has split plate with cutter draw bobbin thread through it and cut thread. Replace cover and it is good to go.

Turn the handwheel until the needle is all the way to the left position and the green dots are lined up vertically. Making sure the thread guide is at its highest position, put the thread through the loop. Bring it down and thread it through the top hole, making sure the thread is ABOVE the stitch length dial. After threading through the top hold, bring the thread around and thread it through the bottom hole, also from back to front. Drape it over the thread tension adjuster, making sure the tension is not too tight. It must go through there easily. In front of the thread tension adjuster is another hole. Thread it through that and into the hold just on the other side of it. When you see the thread coming through into the machine, using tweezers, put it through the hook to hold it in place and then, using a needle threader, pull the thread through the needle from back to front. Thread should come out of needle facing you. I have found that using cone thread is easier than spool thread, although with some playing around with the adjustments, spool thread will do if its your only color match to the fabric. Make sure you double check the threading procedure as sometimes the thread goes under the stitch length dial or its not threaded through the thread tension adjuster properly. It's hard to explain without a drawing, but I'm not sure how to scan and put it on here for you. Also note that a blind hemmer has no bobbin thread. Hope this helps!

First of all, the string (line) goes on opposite of the arrows. The arrows on the bobbin point the way you turn the bobbin. Secondly, you cut the length recommended, thread through the bobbin and wind both sides at the same time. No doubt it's awkward and hard to keep the line from unwinding as you attempt to thread it through the cup holes, but it can be done with a little practice.

you pull it through then you pull enough wax thread through for the job, say your stitching 6" you would pull 6" thread through then you pull through and loop pull through and loop. I figured it out with the instructions but it took a little while.

You can use regular spools and wind the bobbin with anything. It does reverse. The only thing wrong with this is the noise. And starting the seam is tricky because it pulls the thread out of the needle if you don't hold the thread.

I'm sorry, but I use this for storing all sizes of household batteries, not for sewing items. To me it looks like the back half would hold more than 20 spools of thread and then you still have the front half which would hold way more than just bobbins, if we are talking about the same size bin that I bought.

It is like filling an air mattress. The best way to fill is with a shop vac or electric inflator due to size.

I had the same problem when I first started using mine. Try rethreading and reinserting your bobbin and start again. Somehow my machine has stopped doing this, but I never figured out why it did it in the first place since my thread and bobbin seemed to be just fine.

Reinsert your bobbin and make sure you have it caught in the slot on bobbin case.After that hand turn your machine over.Rotate the wheel forward to go down into the bobbin case area.Thread should rotate around and be caught up by the sewing machine hook.Than the bobbin thread should come to the top.If this doesn't happen your timing on your machine might have been push off. Did you try to sew a really heavy fabric or thickness.This can move the timing out of placement.It will require having it checked by a sewing machine repairman.But first recheck that both top and bottom thread are threaded correctly.Also check your needle to see if it is bent or worn.Replacement is the easiest test. Also check to see if there is a lot of lint build up in the bobbin area.It can be cleaned out with canned air. How long have you had your machine and how much have you used it? Without seeing the machine I'm guessing at possible causes of problems with the machine.Did you have any problem with the tension before this problem came up?

I don't think where you load the bobbin matters. You do have to remove the part that holds the presser foot on - the walking foot screws onto the shaft. Not a problem. I have used mine several times and a really pleased. Hope this helps.

Normal grease tube or flip over the seal and fill it by hand. Fantastic unit. I love it.....G

Fill with butane - purchased in any hardware store - through the small round port on the side of the handle below the lock switch. Refilling instructions should be on the handle

There's a button on the side of the lid. You push the button in and the TOP of the lid pops open and then you can lift the diffuser out to fill. Would have been much simpler if the instructions were on the outside rather than in the diffuser where they can't be accessed until you figure it out!

Yes. You thread the bobbin at the top of the machine (same as most other Singer machines).
