Open Question: Thread getting caught around bobbin case! HELP!?
I just bought my machine off of ebay. Everything else works fine but the thread gets stuck around the bobbin case. Im a new sewer so i don't know if its the machine or if im just doing something wrong or if something is out of place. But when the bobbin thread is caught it gets stuck around the bobbin case and doesn't come out through the top. The bobbin case is metal and it has three parts, the actual case where the plastic bobbin goes in, this half moon looking piece, and a ring that seals the crescent shaped piece inside. Please help, im really excited to use my machine but i need to figure this out first. All thoughts are welcome but maybe some experienced sewers can help. I have a singer machine and the bobbin compartment looks like this one. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/Sewing_machine_bobbin.png The thread gets caught around the OCILLATING HOOKS...i googled it so don't think i completely know what that is but anyways please help! read more...
