Tamarack Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I ordered a new bobbin spring and I have taken out the old one many times to clean the bobbin case but never paid attention to the way i put it back in...the bent end pointing out or in? Is there a right way for it to sit in the bobbin case or does it not matter?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Pointing out. There are notches in there to lock it back in place. You will see the half circle (looks like a half moon) that lays right in the notch of the bobbin case. I use a flathead screwdriver GENTLY to snap it back in there.

Tamarack Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks Shana that part I understand but what l'm not sure is if there is a upside or a downside when you place it in the notches, this is very hard to explain!! When the spring is sitting on a table there is an part that is raised slightly with a tiny bend in the end ( the part that gives it it's 'springiness'). I guess i'm asking should this raised arm with the bend go against the bobbing case or against the bobbin when it is in the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltlover03 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 kathy, there is only way the spring goes in. heck it, there are 2 notches on one side of the bobbin case, match up the 2 points of the spring, so there is an upside and a down side, but only one way. Are you confused???? I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 The prongs point out so they are rubbing against the bobbin while it spins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennan100 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Lol! Of the three blonde sisters only one of us had very light blonde hair. The other sister and I had more of a honey blonde that has gradually darkened until I started going gray. I caught my very blonde sister leaning over the tub shampooing her hair once and yelled it her to stop, yanking her back by her collar. I just kept telling her to stop while she is frozen on the floor with her long soapy hair hanging in her face and soaking everything she had on. She's all panicky and yelling back, "What? What is it? What!". I told her, "Stop! Your rubbing it in! Stop! It's all that blonde! You're rubbing it in and making it worse!". But she still tells everyone that I'm a really good big sister.....
