Do any Cuties have bobbin winders that will put more thread on the bobbins than sewing machines will? I often use the same 40 wt thread on the bottom when doing FSLace. I know I could never get as much as the prewound bobbins have on them but I still would like more than I am able to wind on a bobbin now. Any suggestions? How do other Cuties wind their bobbins.

My bobbin winders put less thread on than my machine does.

I was told by someone that when filling a bobbin thread - wind the thread twice around the little tension disc before attaching it to the bobbin. This gives a tighter tension when filling the bobbin. I don't know if this gives you more thread on the bobbin or not.

I bought the bobbin Side Winder at Jo Ann's, also available at Walmart and other places but I returned it 2 days later, junk.

I have a side winder. It stops too soon - meaning it does not put alot of thread on it - so I just hold down the little button that makes it go and fill it up all the way. Works good for me (my machine will not rewind my empty pre-wound bobbins).

I also wind twice around the button for more tension, and after removing the bobbin, I hand wind more on.

Thanks to all of you for these answers. Until I uncover something better I will just stick with using my machine for winding bobbins. There has to be a better way. More research to be done.
