I was thinking of buying one, a bit pricey at over $40. There maybe other vendors for this tool as well. From what I read, thread gets behind the bobbin holder and jams it. This tool takes the holder off.
Maybe someone else already has one, and you can borrow it?
I bought one of those. I haven't had to use it yet, but after getting a thread stuck behind the casing in my FW and having to take it in to be removed because I couldn't get the bobbin holder out, I decided the tool would be worth it. I have 4 machines with the same set up.
