I have a lower end sewing machine and the bobbin winder is unreliable. I've started buying pre-wound bobbins and it cuts down on time and they work right every time.
I was playing around with some cotton thread and came up with this bookmark. The pattern can be found at dishclothdiaries.blogspot.com/
3/4-10-UNC-2A thread, first cut just to make sure if gearbox settings are correct using a pitch gage.
It's required, because you can't be sure if everything is OK - gears could be changed during repair. I also had to check if the live center is concentric with chuck and to catch one nut of compound - one of the holding bolts was fully unscrewed.
You can notice the smaller diameter live center with thin tip - even being a bit off the axis, it gives some clearance for cutting tool to be able to disengage the half-nut in case if it will not be fully engaged or if it will miss the point somehow.

I love all wooden spools with their original labels and markings on them!
The acrylic box is from the Container Store.
My ISP called a quit!!! (Without prior notice!!!) .. I am going to be infrequent from work until my ISP is back! Until then, I am hanging by a thread :(
Helping Mom, not exactly in the kitchen, but still, the kitchen. Coz this is where the food will come from.
I felt bad for making my wife look so awful, so I thought I would break out the wide angle close up on myself. Threw in some thread for good measure.
nylon thread is expensive. I buy it in bulk (eg 1 lb. spools) but they are too large to fit my machine's spool holder. I built this holder for four spools plus a hanger for my bobbins. The top of the thread feeder has a bent paper clip sticking out of each side to guide the thread up and out to the machine.
