Just read that you don't have the book...go to singer.com they should have info on your machine.........
how on earth can u put it in backwards?
Take the bobbin case and bobbin back out of the machine. Turn the bobbin case over into your other hand, so that the bobbin will fall out. If your bobbin falls completely out, and is not hanging by a thread to the bobbin, you have not gotten the bobbin completely threaded correctly.
If your machine has a bobbin case that goes in "standing up", the bobbin must be able to turn clockwise in order to function properly. Place the bobbin into the case with about five inches of thread hanging out, at first .. making sure it is turning clockwise (the bobbin) the thread is then slid into a slit on that is on the side of the bobbin, and THEN! The thread is pulled forward, under a little metal (hmmm.... how to describe?) "plate, that the thread must pass under, so that the thread is almost centered in the bobbin. When you have the all in there correctly, you should be able to drob the bobbin out of the case, and the thread will still be attached to the bobbin ...
All of this information applies for a machine whose bobbin lies flat, except reversed - - counterclockwise.
Hope this helps!
