I looked inside my bobbin casing and cannot figure out if it has an anti backlash spring. Can anyone help me with this?
The flat piece of metal (that is not the actual bobbin case) that is laying in the bottom of your bobbin case ( at least from what I think I can see in your picture) is your backlash spring. I have read where people remove them, but don't have any experience with that personally, as I have not used the pre-filled bobbins of any kind.
Have you visited the Sweet Sixteen Forum on Yahoo Groups? I'm sure you'd find someone to help you there.
Sorry just noticed you said HQ Sixteen, not HQ Sweet Sixteen. The bobbin case looks the same and we use M bobbins too so.... Handi Quilter website also has a Forum you might find help on.
