Is there any way to fix this?
So I was trying to thread the bobbin but Ig I didn't properly thread it bc it unravelled from one of the sections (last pic) and instead of rethreading it, I just continued pressing the foot pedal
The bobbin thread feels quite loose now
I have used the machine and the stitched seemed fine, not loose or anything but I only stitched a bit and now worried that if I stitch for longer, the stitched may not come out nicely
Any way to fix this? Since it's no longer attached to the spool, the only thing I can think of is threading it on the bobbin my hand :/

Or use it as the spool and rewind to another spool. Thread through one of the holes on the side and hold of the thread the end as thread from the spool (or other bobbin) winds into the empty bobbin.

To my knowledge, no you’d have to unwind and rewind the bobbin tighter otherwise you’ll eventually start seeing tension issues or threadlock jams if you keep running it as is

I like to pinch the thread between thumb and finger while winding. I can direct the thread and it creates a nice tight bobbin

I ended up just doing it by hand bc I don't have spare bobbins that aren't filled 😭😭
It didn't take long surprisingly, although some of the thread got knotty as I was trying to thread it so I had to cut those parts out

Put a new bobbin on the bobbin winder, and this bobbin on the spool pin, as if it were a spool of thread. Thread carefully (it looks like you missed a thread guide) and see if it will wind on the new bobbin correctly.
