I don't know if this is a new topic or one that has been plowed over many times. I am new to this site and also to sewing. I recently inherited an old Singer referenced above. I contacted Singer and had them send me a 'Historical copy of the 66-16's owners manual.' On page 10 under the topic of ..'To replace the bobbin,' it says in part...hold the bobbin between thumb and forefinger of left hand, the thread leading on to from RIGHT TO LEFT, as shown in Fig.6. This seems to me to be counterintuitive. The bobbin would then be turning counterclockwise in the bobbin case. Their are two notches that the bobbin thread has to pass through before exiting the machine. I tried to load the bobbin as per the instructions and it didn't work. How about turning the bobbin so that it turns clockwise? Please advise
Thanks
