LGK Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 New user, Lenni, brand new turbo winder. Last week I did my first quilt, it wound 6 bobbins great (L size). today when I am ready to try my second quilt it will not wind. The motor runs, but the bobbin will not turn. I have the thread between the disks, tried winding the bobbin once, but it just will not turn. I have tried with and without the little black washer for 'L' size bobbins. but it still will not wind. Any suggestions short of taking the turbo winder apart and checking the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 This is a really silly question but did you move the lever into place to start the bobbin winder? Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGK Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 yes, Support got back to me. and basically I had to open the box. " On the inside there is a black rubber grommet that could have come loose and just needs to be put in place again. The information will show you the inside of the machine and where the parts go. Also the switch sometimes will get out of place, but if you can’t push that moon shaped mechanism over the grommet behind it could be out of place." I wish it was that easy, the Black Rubber is actually broken, so not I need to try and find one the same size. I have added instructions for others if their winder stops working. Well off into town (40 minutes away to find the washer)Bobbin Winder (turbo) REPL friction grommet.pdfBobbin Winder (turbo) switch position adjustment.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBQuilts Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Try a sewing machine store i.e., sew n vac store. They don't usually wear(break) like that! They're very thick, they usually wear smooth/thin where they won't grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGK Posted August 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Well we got something, not sure it will work. My husband is swearing at the moment! one of those red wires (pink plastic connectors) came apart. and he is having a x!X! time of getting the black washer/gromment one! He has to take the whole winder apart to get to where you put it.! I think I got a lemon on the winder. For it to break after only 6 bobbins. have a nice day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
