You're blazing new trails now (for me, anyway). I'll look at one of mine later today and see if anything jumps out.
Meanwhile, it might not hurt to verify that you have the right bobbin. Maybe the length is slightly off. I'll measure a couple of mine today and report back.
Thank You! The bobbins are the original ones that came with te machine. They fit good but just wont stay in when trying to wind the thread on. The tension on the piece circled is not strong enough to hold it in place. The spring inside of that piece is very weak. That is why I was wondering if the spring can be replaced. I cant get the end piece off , maybe because it is gummed up or maybe it does not come off. But I really agree with your statement ---"But it went in, so it must come back out!" I really hope I can get this fixed. I have looked online to find a replacement bobbin winder but cant seem to find any. I am nervous about buying off of ebay cause there are no guarantees.
