Here is my question.. On some of the prewound bobbins, is there an easy way to find the end? On most you can put your finger around it and you can see it but some..just sit in the drawer because I can't find the end!!

I just scratch my finger nail down the side and it usually pops out ,I do have a little trouble with some ,but get there in the end.I alway rewind mine onto a Janome bobbin ,the last lot of NEB ones I bought are knotted onto the bobbin , my reapir man said it could wreck your bobbin shuttle if you run them through to the knot

Well I bet if you toss it across the room the end would soon unravel!

Had this happen once. With all the scratching in the world the end would not come out. I eventually cut near where I thought the end was. Only wasted a couple of inches. Good luck. Sarah.

I just kind of scratch across the threads with my fingernail and can usually find the end. Haven't had to throw one away, yet.
