I recall all the trouble I had reseating the bobbin case for my 201k. OMG I thought I'd never get it back together.
(never taking it apart again).

P.S. We're currently piecing a double sawtooth star done in woven plaids and shirting prints for my DS.
Needle is new and in correctly; bobbin case checked out OK. I have been known to tear a machine apart before discovering I had the needle in wrong!! I would like to think I'll never take this one apart again, but I know I will the first chance I get. I LOVE to tinker.
I'm working on a nursery set for my newest grandchild. It's not like I don't have 149 OTHER machines to sew on, including a 201 HC and 201 electric, but I LOVE sewing on this one!! I'll try again tonight.
