I have a Singer machine, its pretty old I think its a touch and sew model. It has the option to wind bobbins for you and that's all I have ever done. I found a tutorial for shirring fabric with elastic thread and went to try it out but I don't know how to hand wind a bobbin.
the machine looks like this-http://www.gonesewing.com/catalog/TouchAndSew.jpg
and this is what the bobbin looks like- http://www.sewingpartsdirect.com/images/products/detail/163131.1.jpg
I wrapped the thread around loosely as to not stretch the elastic and then put it back in the machine correctly. I tried to pull the bobbin thread up by moving the needle up and down but it wouldn't come up, so Im sure I hand wound it wrong.
