You don’t have to do all that fiddling. When you push the bobbin cover plate you can feel it clip into place. Just line up the arrows.

You have made my day! I've had the 6234 for decades and winding the bobbin had always been hit and miss. Putting the thread into the slot of the bobbin is brilliant. Thank you for sharing. Once it is wound I just cut the thread and off I go. Love this little machine.

I have the exact same machine and when I need to fill the bobbin, I have the machine threaded like she said. After it goes through the needle, I wrap it around the nut that holds the need in place (about 3 times). I then pull the plate to the bobbin cover open till the arrows match up and slowly start pressing on the pedal. If you watch in the little window, you will see the thread catch the little line on the bobbin and it automatically starts filling the bobbin. You can then go faster to fill the bobbing quicker. once you have the bobbin full, take your scissors and swipe under the pressure foot and cut the thread once you pull appx 3 to 4 inches of thread out. Shut the cover plate completely. You can then start sewing. The thread that is wrapped around the nut will break off after a few seconds of starting to fill the bobbin. You can unwrap it from the nut and throw it away.

Yeah, this video contains a lot of unnecessary work... I have this *_exact_* machine. It's a fantastic sewer! The fact I obtained mine for $20 is just icing on the cake! Of course, it needed a good cleaning inside and out along with an intense oiling and lubricating disassembly! But, there's no need to handle the bobbin at all. Thread the needle as for normal sewing. However, take the rear-pulled thread tail, raise it, wrap it around the slanted shank anchoring stud a few times, set the stitch selector to the little bobbin icon, adjust the drop-in bobbin trap door to the slightly open arrow-to-arrow position. Now, step on the gas! The machine will catch and wrap the needle thread around the bobbin all by itself. All the operator needs to do is keep an eye on the filling bobbin and don't fill it too much. And you can just keep doing this with different colors of thread -- wrapping and stacking them one on top of the other for small little quickie fixes, repairs, or projects.

Why in the world would you take something so easy and make it complicated?? The BEST feature of this machine is that the bobbin is wound IN THE MACHINE and it's done in four easy steps----(1) wrap your thread (from the needle) thru the notch on the foot and up and back around the foot screw (kind of as an anchor), (2) lower the presser foot, (3) slide the bobbin door part way open, lining up the arrows, until it 'clicks' (4) turn the hand wheel towards you until the thread catches in the slot on the bobbin. Four seconds is all it takes---FOUR SECONDS!! Why are you making it complicated? Step on the foot pedal until the bobbin is filled. When it's filled you DO NOT remove it from the machine. Why would you do that?? It's filled.....in.....the....machine. Leave it there. Once it's filled slide the door closed, lift the presser foot, run a pair of scissors under the foot to catch the thread, pull it out, cut it in the middle, pull both threads to the back of the machine and you're ready to sew. Honestly, in the 30+ years I've been using my Singer 6234 and 6235 (that I absolutely love because of this feature) NEVER, EVER have I removed the filled bobbin just to put it BACK in the machine.

This instruction is wrong !!! You do thread the machine and needle- BUT…. You pull the thread through the slit in the presser-foot and wrap the thread around the tension device that actually holds the presser foot on ( It has a bit of rubber that grips the thread ). This machine is missing a piece, there is a red indicator on the top left side that tells you that the slide-plate is in the proper position ( or you can line the arrows up ).. However, at this point, you have inserted an empty bobbin in the machine ( never, ever wind thread over a previously wound bobbin ) and put the machine in "Bobbin Mode". You run the machine, starting slowly and the machines built-in thread cutter will snip the thread that was wound around the presser foot tension plates and you will see the bobbin filling up. Do not wind past the last ring on the bobbin. When the bobbin is wound, close the slide-plate and slide scissors, a seam ripper or any handy item that will slide under your presser foot, and draw out the threads.. They will still be connected. If you pull out at least 4 inches, you can either start sewing or snip the threads and start sewing (my favorite method, unless you are making a continuous thread dart ). There is no need to remove the bobbin and replace it- that is the convenience of a "self-winding" bobbin...

When you open the bobbin cover hand turn the wheel towards you until you see the thread slide into the slit in the bobbin--you'll be able to see this thru the bobbin and you'll know the thread is winding on to the bobbin and not under it. Also, make sure the pressure foot is down.

It’s because she’s not giving the instructions correctly. You put the Bobbin in the holder and push the little plate to where the arrows lineup, it will be open slightly not closed all the way. You take your thread on top and wind it down by following the arrows to load the needle, go through the pressure foot THEN you take the thread to the backside of the pressure foot and hold it. If you don’t want to hold it there is a screw that holds the pressure foot on (about an inch above the pressure foot) and you can wrap the free end of the thread around that a couple of times to secure it. ( here is where she makes the mistake. She puts it through the Bobbin and then closes the little plate. It does not need to go through the bobbin before you start. This will create a pile of thread under the bobbin where it’s trying to wind about missing the Bobbin) Then when you step on the pedal you can watch it through the window. Be sure that your pattern dial is set to five, or the straight stitch. You do not need to take the Bobben out of the machine at this point all you need to do is close the little plate. Make sure your needle is all the way up and slide a pair of scissors underneath your pressure foot you will have one piece of thread that you can pull out to give yourself some slack and then you cut it. Once you do this you will now have thread from your Bobbin and thread coming from the top.

Hi there is a way to do this without causing the needle to move while winding the bobbin . You would thread the needle and wrap it around the ball attatched to the presser foot then once you press the button on the machine to select bobbin the needle will move uo and down twice then stop to allow the bobbin to wind . This video is very helpful and informative. Thank you for sharing

This information isn’t quite right. This sewing machine threads the bobbin automatically. All you have do is put the machine in the bobbin mode then take the thread coming from the needle, wrap the thread around the the nut with a rubber washer that holds on the presser foot post, then line up the arrows on the slide plate and machine base. Hold down the speed controller until the bobbin is 3/4 full. Slide the slide plate closed and use your scissors or a ruler to catch the thread between the needle and into the bobbin. That’s it, start sewing.

The whole process is automatic as Fern writes below. Although the instructions only describe wrapping the thread one turn around the 'o'-ring. If it is winding below the bobbin perhaps they are worn. I would suggest that Sarah is setting up with the thread through the split in the top because the automatic process of the machine is not working well for her.

Does it tangle underneath? If so, it may help to lightly hold the cover plate down at the centre of the bobbin. The spring needs to be depressed. Another issue could be that something is keeping your thread from winding properly. Check that the bobbin case is is right. Also make sure you hold both threads from behind. Go slowly to see what it is doing.
