In this blog, we will explain how to make a bobbin with the JUKI HZL-53E sewing machine.

Making a bobbin with the JUKI HZL-53E

It is not always obvious how to make a bobbin, but don’t worry, it’s not difficult! Follow the steps in this tutorial and you will master sewing on your JUKI HZL-53E.

We also offer an explanatory video for better follow-up of the tutorial.

Step 1: First, make sure your sewing machine is properly plugged in, then place the original spool containing the thread you want to use on the spool holder.

Step 2: Now take the thread and pass it through the path (steps 2 and 3), then through the small hole of your bobbin (not the bobbin opening) as shown in the images below.

Step 3: Then place the bobbin on its holder while holding the thread. Make sure you have tilted the bobbin to the right.

Step 4: From there, press (hold down) your foot pedal while still holding the bobbin thread and there you go, your thread will wind itself around your bobbin!

Once you have filled half of your bobbin, cut the thread you were holding, then continue holding your pedal. If you use a Juki flatbed machine, you will appreciate the regularity of the winding and the smoothness of the work. When finished, cut the thread connecting to the spool.

Placing the bobbin in the JUKI HZL-53E

Now that you know how to make a bobbin, all that remains is to place it in your sewing machine. It is just as easy as making a bobbin.

The previously mentioned video will also explain how to place it.

Step 1: First, remove the cover of the bobbin compartment. Place your bobbin with the free thread end passing under the notch as shown on your machine, then replace the cover.

Step 2: Now take the thread from your original spool and pass it through the thread guide of your machine. If you work with a Juki coverstitch machine, you will appreciate the precision of its automatic needle threader, which will help you easily pass the thread through the needle’s eye, even on the most technical projects.

Step 3: Then lift your presser foot to pass your thread to the back. Use the handwheel on the right of your machine to catch the bobbin thread with your needle. For a perfectly neat finish after sewing, do not hesitate to complete your equipment with Juki pressing tools, known for their effectiveness and compatibility with professional use.

There you go, you are ready to start sewing!
