And if you can't get it out this way, go here: {

This is a really good link. The instructions are very clear. We tried it on one we purchased and had to work at it to get it apart. But it did finally come apart and we got the thread out. Unfortunately, that did not solve our particular problem and we mailed the machine back to sender.
