Note: Spring in Bobbin Case

On close observation inside the bobbin case you will see a thin metal spring at the back of the bobbin case. (See illustration)

This spring allows the bobbin in the bobbin case to feed smoothly at high speeds. When cleaning the inside of the bobbin case area from lint, be careful to not dislodge the spring.

If spring does come out simply push carefully back into its original position.
