Hi everyone, needing some serious help please. I have a problem with my Singer 211G156
I was winding some bobbins and left a bobbin in the bobbin carrier. Halfway through winding a bobbin the machine started 'knocking'. What appear to have happened is that I've ended up with thread all under the bobbing carrier.
Please see the photo below I determined the triangular part of the carrier (yellow arrow) was hitting the fitted hook (red arrow). There was lots of thread under the bobbin carrier that I could see through the two holes on the base of the carrier (blue arrow). I have got some of it out but fear there is still some trapped.
The bobbin release lever is very tight and I think??? I still have thread under the bobbin carrier which is lifting the carrier causing it to hit the hook (red arrow).
I fear I have created a massive problem. I think I need to remove the bobbin carrier to check for trapped thread. Is this possible??? and is it something I can do myself???
First week with the machine so feel pretty stupid and annoyed with myself. Any advice or suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks
