One of the worst things about sewing is finding out that your bobbin — that’s the smaller spool that works together with the needle and the larger spool to make a complete stitch — ran out ...

A sewing machine is a fantastically useful thing to own, but too often sewing machines end up languishing in a closet because something wasn't working quite right the last time you tried to use it.

Wind the bobbin up. Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap. Wind it back again. Try singing 'Wind the Bobbin Up' with your baby and doing the actions too to help their early motor skills.

Beneath the needle (as the GIF shows at a very slowed down speed) a hook rotates, capturing the thread from above and looping it around another thread, this one reeling from the bobbin below.
