Plz help - can't bobbin wind my new Singer XL
 

Hello, I'm in a jam and I'm sure I must just be missing something since

I've never used an embroidery machine before. I just got a new Singer
XL 6000 and I've used the sewing machine part just fine, but now I want

to try to embroider, I've got the base on fine and I see the embroidery

jazz on the computer screen, but when I try to fill an empty bobbin
(special) with thread via the lower continuous winding mechanism, the
machine keeps telling me there is no thread on the spool. But it's
brand new 90 bobbin thread, I don't know what to do, I can't do
anything until I figure this out, please help! Thank you ahead of
time...

Can't help, Gina, but you might try asking over at
rec.crafts.textiles.sewing. Very nice folks over there and just maybe more
embroiderers. Polly

Thanks for your reply. I did figure out what went wrong. There is a
small metal area in the spare bobbin thread area and I had read the
manual and watched the movie but it wasn't clear enough for me to see
that not only was my thread supposed to go behind it and up but that it
also needed to go in between two metal parts! I figiured it out only by
trying to do it wrong! Silly isn't it! I seem to be okay now although I
tend to still have tension issues and the automatic threaders also
don't seem to always thread completely wen I am switching colors during
embroidery, but last night I did complete a two color flower, which I
was pretty excited about! Thank you so much!
