To make a colored tube piece pour in different colors of resin in layers, letting the mold set a bit in between layers. You may need to add a little more clear resin on top of the glitter depending on how well it sinks in. Make sure you are trying to use the correct bobbin for the machine. I didn't do this and my stickers turned out a little murky looking. When should I replace my bobbin case It’s possible to use the same bobbin case for several years. You’ll need a new bobbin and a slow wind of the thread to solve this problem. The second source may be because of an unevenly wound bobbin thread. If you use stickers make sure to waterproof them with clear glue so they don't show water spots. Why is the bobbin case not spinning First, your bobbin thread tension may be too tight. The glitter will sink in and color the piece without obscuring the stickers. Bubbles under the rim will result in gaps and rough, sharp pieces in your finished bobbin.Īn alternative method is to use clear resin, sink stickers in, let the pieces set for a little while and then add glitter on top. Make sure to run a popsicle stick or toothpick around under the rim of the end pieces to get out any bubbles. For a multicolored piece pour two or more colors very quickly so they don't have time to spread out or get muddy. Mix in glitter as desired and pour into the molds. You will need approximately 35mL for the tube and 17mL for each end piece.

Mix the resin according to package directions. The bobbin should be turning clockwise when thread is pulled. Is the bobbin case supposed to spin Be sure the bobbin is inserted so that the bobbin will turn clockwise when the thread is pulled.

Also put elastic hair ties around the mold in several places to hold the mold closed. All you have to do to fix this is to readjust your tension then double-check to make sure the bobbin turns again. First, it may be that your bobbin thread tension is too tight. To prepare the molds spray with mold release or wipe with vaseline. There are a couple of sources for this challenge.
