I have never removed it. So how do I get it out to put it back in correctly??
do you have a manual?
I do, but it doesn't show me how to remove it. Just to be sure it's inserted correctly if you should remove it. LOL! Driving me crazy!
I might be turned around on my 'replies' and 'quote replies' but back on page 1061 Miriam wrote:
check out page 8 or 9 in the operator manual

Figure 12 look at B2 and A2
Then on the next page there is a "CAUTION: If the throat plate is removed for cleaning the stitch forming mechanism, etc., make certain when replacing the throat plate that the position finger (A2) enters the notch (B2) of the position plate attached to the under side of the throat plate."
those old manuals have a lot of info - it might pay to check in there
I am having the same problem and couldn't tell from the tiny diagrams in the original manual that came with my FW.
Sewwww, I have printed it out and am going to try it after we eat dinner here pretty soon. I like that the online manual shows the diagram much larger and also, that I can go on to the computer if it isn't big enough and increase the percentage size of the text by clicking on (in the lower right hand corner of my screen) and increase the percentage size even larger. Maybe you and I will both be succcessful using this online manual. Let me know how it works for you. :-D
Here is t he problem... it's not the bobbin or the bobbin case, it is the throat plate. Three different things. The bobbin and the bobbin case I can hold in my hand. The throat plate I can't remove. So why is it not in "notch B2"?? It should be. I didn't remove it, but I can't get it out to replace it in the correct position. I have had the bobbin and case out before to refill or replace the bobbin, but the throat plate never "moved" out of position before. My book has the same picture in it on page 11. There has to be a way to remove it for cleaning as the book says, but it doesn't say how.
