Wind Case
Posted in Watches on 01/22/2010 02:09 am by adminHow do you wind the bobbin on a Singer 6230 machine?
The make is Singer, the model is 6320 "Limited Edition" (if that makes a difference) and I'd say it's pretty ancient. Maybe 20 years? It was my grandmother's. Anyway. This isn't like any other sewing machine I've worked with because it doesn't have a post for bobbin-winding, and you can't take it out of gear with the handwheel because it's just one wheel, which leads me to believe that the bobbin is intended to be wound inside the bobbin case itself.
Right now, I'm at my wit's end trying to find a way to wind bobbins on this thing, so any suggestions are very welcome! I can link people to some pictures of the machine if you want them, too 
Thanks a bunch!
I'm not familiar with this model, but does it have a post on the outside of the machine? My old Dressmaster has one down towards the right, sticking up. You have to hold your thumb against it to release the clutch.
