How do you thread and install the bobbin on a singer 6251 sewing machine?

Answer 1

Put your spool of thread on the silver prong on the top of the sewing machine. Run the thread through the tensioner by following the arrows on the front of the machine (through the little clip at the top, down in the channel to the right of the 'auto tension', back up the other side of the 'auto tension', up to the top again, around the little groove there then down the other side of the groove). Thread the needle from the front then tuck the thread down and to the left so that it goes through the little channel on the foot. Then pull several inches of thread straight back. Wrap the thread once or twice around the little circular thing with the groove in it that is attached to the left side above the foot (sorry, I can't find my instruction book and I don't remember the name of that thing). Pull the metal plate back that covers the bobbin holder (the one with the little window in it) and put your bobbin in there with the stripes pointing up. Slide the metal plate back part-way so that the little arrow on the left of it lines up with the little arrow on the base of the machine. There will be a small gap where it is not closed all the way. Step on the pedal to run the machine and the bobbin should start to wind. You can look at your spool to make sure the thread is running. Keep an eye on the bobbin and don't wind it too full. When you have enough thread on the bobbin, let off the pedal, close the plate the rest of the way, unwind the thread from the round thing, and use something to sweep under the foot to draw the thread backward so that you pull about five inches of thread out the back of the machine. Trim all the ends of the threads so that you have two threads about 4" long--one coming from the needle and one from the bobbin. Then you're ready to go. Hope this made sense...and sorry if it was too much detail but I wasn't sure how much experience you've had with sewing.

Answer 2

Closing slide plate lining up marks this will engages the bobbin winder. Bring thread form needle under presser foot and wind it one turn in any direction around presser foot screw pulling it into groover. Begin running the machine. When desired amount of thread has been filled, stop the machine and pull up the thread.

i am almost 100% positive that Brother has a on-line manual that has pictures that shows in detail how to do it. check it out. if that is no longer available, check out Janome as they are related to Brother. Also the American Sewing Guild has a wealth of information that may be able to help you.

Answer 4

If you have a janome sew mini or other sewing machine without a removable side cover or bobbin case, you should check

Answer 5

Thread the machine from spool holder to the needle following the black arrows.

Thread the needle from front to back. Pull enough thread so you can catch it later.

Open face plate; place bobbin with metal "cone" facing up; close face plate until it touches the red knob. (It will be open a crack.)

Lower presser foot and needle.

Hold that loose thread and press the foot pedal until you see the thread unwinding from the spool and see the thread being wound around the bobbin. Don't race too much or the thread may get all gummed up.

Answer 6

There is a tiny screw on the bobbin that you can turn to loosen or tighten the tension.

FIRST: be sure your bobbin is wound correctly, not too tight or loose, not too full.

SECOND: be sure your bobbin is inserted correctly.

Answer 7

It depends on the type of sewing machine. You can order a manual that will explain it in detail.

Answer 8

Insert bobbin case in recess and hold end of thread pull it ,thread will go in slot and pull it.
