ACCESS / Tools When To Wind Your Bobbin Winding bobbins gives a finished appearance when it comes to freestanding items, or items that will be seen from all sides. Here are some useful tips on when you should be winding your bobbin to match the top thread and why. Why should you wind your bobbin? Almost all home embroidery machines come with a spot to wind your bobbin. We do this so the top thread will match the back thread on free standing projects that you can see from both sides. Know your thread weight Always be aware of your thread weights when winding bobbins. If you are using a manufactured wound bobbin they are usually a thinner 60-90 weight thread than the typical 40 or 50 weight top thread used by embroidery machines (Floriani poly threads are 40 weight). An example is if I am using a white manufactured wound bobbin and a white top thread, the white top embroidery thread will be thicker, making the thread coverage look different between the front and back.
