It snapped right off. :(
 

In the process of trying to fix my Featherweight 221 thread issue, the little metal leg on the bobbin shuttle that helps bring the bobbin thread to the top, snapped off. :( I am hoping a machine shop nearby can replace it. I can still use the machine, but I have to apply a thin piece of tape just to hold it in place long enough to get the bobbin thread to the surface. :(

Well that Stinks! I hope you can get the place replaced or fixed and can get back to sewing soon. Good luck!

The Featherweight Shop should have a replacement. Their reproductions are supposed to be quite good.
