I have this machine. to wind a bobbin, place the bobbin in the case, close the bobbin door all the way and then pull it back open just about 1/2 way until it clicks. Thread the needle, and hold onto the thread tightly and press on the foot plate as if to sew. The bobbin will begin winding thread on it. The thread in your hand will cut off od the bobbin by itself f you pull on it gently after winding the bobbin quite a ways. When it gets to the blue line on the bobbin, you can stop there and shut the plate over the bobbin. No need to cut the thread if you don't want to, you can just put the material in and start to sew. Hope this helps. You can contact me if you have any more questions at lawillie@yahoo.com
