Some machines also come with plastic discs that you can put on top of the spool. This will keep the spool from flying off to the corners of your room once you start sewing.

Guide Your Thread

Once the thread roll has been adjusted, it’s time for you to guide your thread. There is a thread guide at the top of the sewing machine, you will have to pull the thread through it. If you have a Brother machine, it’s thread guide is usually larger as compared to other sewing machine so it’s won’t be difficult for you. Some machines have a small button knob like a guide that is a bit difficult to adjust your thread in.

Go Around The Tension Knob

Moving on, keep pulling the thread towards yourself and wrap it around the tension knob that is hovering down. There will be a few tension discs on the knob that you will have to go around.

Up Next Second Thread Guide

Time to load your bobbin according to the manual instructions. There are two types of bobbin boxes usually. Some go straight to fixed point from the top of the machine whereas some have to inserted sideways.

After the bobbin’s been inserted, turn the wheel towards you so the thread gets stuck with it. You can bring the bobbin thread on top of the machine by moving your needle in and out.
