Starting with an empty bobbin, follow the thread path to feed the thread from the spindle to the bobbin through the bobbin tension – you should be able to feel the tension if you tug on the thread a little

Feed the thread tail through the top little hole in the bobbin from inside to outside. Place the bobbin on the winding spindle and move it over to engage. On most machines this will disengage the needle and stop it from going up and down as you wind the bobbin. On some lower-end machines you may need to pull out part of the balance wheel on the right-hand side of the machine.

Wind the bobbin by pressing the foot pedal, holding the little thread tail for the first few seconds. Stop and cut the tail, then continue. On most machines, the bobbin will stop winding when it is full. Disengage the bobbin spindle to remove the bobbin.

Make sure that you load the bobbin correctly in the bobbin race. For top loading/drop-in types, this is with the thread coming off the bobbin from left to right (anti-clockwise). Drop it into the bobbin race, then pull the thread tail through the groove/tension at the front and towards the left.
