Jayhad Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Duder, is it possible you have worn thread grooves into the thread tube? Not supposed to with the Stonfo, but I guess it could happen or perhaps there is an imperfection in the tube. Does it happen with all threads, could it be the thread? To test for thread grooves or other imperfections in the thread tube; put bobbin threader into bobbin put a peice of cotton ball in a bobbin threader pull it through hold up to the light to see if any cotton has snagged inside if you don have a bobbin thread use some fine copper wire doubled over, and if you have no cotton try dubbing I have given up on all my bobbins since I started using the nor-vise bobbin.

Guest ArtVandelay Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I haven't used it enough to make thread grooves and it broke thread right from the start. Most of the reviews I could find are very positive, though a couple of guys seem to have the same problem. Thanks for the cotton ball tip. I check the guides on my rods that way; never thought to try it with the bobbin. Ill talk to you about the Norvise bobbin when I see you again.

eatsleapfishrepeat Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 had the same thing happen to me with a brand new stonofo bobbin, sliced through everything after a few wraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtisma Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I bought a stonfo bobbin and had the exact same results , I have given up on it after trying a few different threads thinking it was thread , I thought I may save it for 3/0 only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
