Inspect products to verify that they meet specifications and to determine whether machine adjustment is needed.
Tend machines that twist together two or more strands of yarn or insert additional twists into single strands of yarn to increase strength, smoothness, and/or uniformity of yarn.
Replace depleted supply packages with full packages.
Observe operations to detect defects, malfunctions, or supply shortages.
Thread yarn, thread, and/or fabric through guides, needles, and rollers of machines.

Record production data such as numbers and types of bobbins wound.
Stop machines when specified amount of products has been produced.
Notify supervisors or mechanics of equipment malfunctions.
Start machines, monitor operation, and make adjustments as needed.
Study guides, samples, charts, and specification sheets, or confer with supervisors or engineering staff to determine setup requirements.
Measure bobbins periodically, using gauges; and turn screws to adjust tension if bobbins are not of specified size.
Install, level, and align machine components such as gears, chains, guides, dies, cutters, and/or needles to set up machinery for operation.
Tend spinning frames that draw out and twist roving or sliver into yarn.
Unwind lengths of yarn, thread, or twine from spools and wind onto bobbins.
Observe bobbins as they are winding; and cut threads to remove loaded bobbins, using knives.
