When I turn the wheel by hand toward me, it is hitting something under the feed dogs. I have checked my instruction book over and over and tried different things and it still hangs up. I even had DH try and help. No luck. I appreciate your help. This thread is amazing. Thanks, Nancy O.
I have just gone through this with mine, and though most of the Singer bobbin cases are a piece of cake to reassemble, this one is a PITA. Here's the link that helped me; hope it helps you, too!!

Scroll down to page 6, and good luck!!
Miz Johnny.......thanks so much for the info. I went to the site and printed off alot of info. to keep. I was able to fix my bobbin case back to working order. My 201 is back to purring like a kitten again. You were right, it was a PITA. I was able to see how everything worked so much better than that little tiny book they give with the vintage machines.

thanks again Miz Johnny, and.......Hugs......Nancy O.
