Yet, I saw on ebay a posting for the "open" bobbin case where the seller states that if you're using the closed type it's the wrong one. Huh? Can you please let me know what bobbin you have in yours? I would rather not have to buy a new bobbin case, but I also would prefer the correct one! Thanks.
I ordered both of the ones that online sellers said would fit mine, and the 173058 actually did. It is closed and uses the 206x13 needles. The open one was supposed to work with 15x1 needles, but did not, because there is a little peg in the bobbin housing, or race, that the 173058 has a slot for. I ordered mine from

Hope this helps.
