Singers with drop-in bobbin:
Slip bobbin into case. Use hand-wheel to draw thread tail up from
case. Pull thread towards back of needle, holding thread tail. lower
foot, begin to sew.
I know the Singers get bad press, but I love them for the speed, and
ease of sewing which they provide. Thread-winding in-case? How easy and
quick does it get? Snap- on/off feet? Speed-freaky! May you enjoy your
machine as much as I have enjoyed my Singers.
