Singer featherweight 221 not stitching
Can't understand why my featherweight is not stitching. Motor running and belt running ok - at times sounds different but basically not stitching. Any help/suggetions would be greatly appreciated. Tried to read up but didn't find anything to help with the problem - otherwise, it looks like I'll have to take it to get repaired and checked out. Thank you.

You have to hold the bobbin case by the latch and wiggle it in very carefully. If it isn't seated correctly all you get is a mess! Also, check the bobbin area very carefully - use a flashlight - thread can get wound around behind the bobbin race. That's why the one I have never worked right - I finally found the thread and got it out, and now she just hums right along!
