People may think "Okay, it's in correct. It turns." BUT - the case shouldn't turn only the bobbin inside turns.

So...... once you think the case is in correctly - give it a circular twist - if it rotates it's not seated correctly.
The take up lever needs to be at the very top when you start - otherwise the needle and thread think they have to finish off a stitch below
