My bobbin case has been jamming for years in my Singer machine. It happens sporadically and causes the bobbin thread to look all mangled on the fabric. Every time it happens, I take out the bobbin case and replace it, being careful to put the little arm on the upper left side tightly back into place, holding the bobbin case. Well, that has not worked this week and I realized what the real problem is with the machine. There is a little metal plate that sits around the bobbin case that has 3 screws holding it in place. I simply unscrewed the screws and pushed the plate closer to the bobbin case and then screwed them back in. Now, my bobbin case sits perfectly in place. The machine does not make any odd noise and it feels like a new machine. I think over time, the metal plate moves a little due to constant use and just needs to be pushed back into place and tightened. You can actually unscrew the metal plate and put the bobbin case in and turn the hand wheel to determine the proper placement for the plate and then screw it back in tightly. This is a miraculous discovery for me! I don't want to tell anyone how long I have dealt with this issue and how frustrated I have been over the years! Anyone who has continuous bobbin problems should do this! I wish I had realized this years ago. Better late than never!
