[QUOTE=cherrybsixty;6289318]Okay, guy I have a question concerning my FW, it seems to not like the new metal bobbins. I have two blackside bobbins and it will sew quite as a mice. When I use a recently bought metal one, it makes the squeaking noise. I applied oil on the bobbin, the bobbin case and the mount. Do I use a s/m grease? Thank you gang any help will be appreciated.
The new metal bobbins that are made in China, aren't any good at all. I bought a package of them to use with my 301(same bobbins as the FW). One of those poorly made bobbins got stuck in the bobbin case. I thought I'd never get it out. You don't need any oil or grease inside the bobbin case, you need better bobbins. I only use vintage bobbins or new ones from a reputable seller.(Cindy Peters,

Put a drop of oil in the bobbin case base at the 4 'o'clock position.
