jimerickson Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Batty: You didn't show us the inside of your bobbin case. Perhaps the backlash spring is not in properly, and it's getting in the way. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battynurse Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 There isn't a backlash spring Jim. Just the empty bobbin case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Have you tried a new bobbin case? Zeke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 You do not need a TOWA gauge. I was just asking if you had one, to see if the bobbin case would fit over the TOWA gauge shaft as it is the same size as the shaft on your APQS. Do not worry about the gauge. Good luck fixing your issue. Cagey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iquiltit Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 That is not the proper bobbin case for an Ultimate II.I have an ultimate II ,that is from another machine case. IMHO pretty sure tho. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachside Quilter Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I agree, Carol. You can use other bobbin cases as long as they meet APQS specs for size, etc. IMO its best for a newbie to start with the proper APQS parts and work up from there.

jimerickson Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Batty: It's a little difficult to tell, but it looks to me like the bobbin case latch is out of place. It looks like the latch is too far to the left. Looking at mine (which is an M not an L, but works the same way) my latch tip is further to the right - it extends all the way to the edge of the bobbin case. The latch slides back and forth as you pull on it ( slides to the left when pulled, and back to the right when released). The sliding action is what locks it in the bobbin basket. There is a spring that pushes it back to the right when you release the lever. If the latch is stuck, it won't snap over the bobbin basket shaft, and won't go all the way in. Check it out.

Battynurse Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thank you everyone. I haven't tried a different bobbin case as I don't have one but I think I will order a new one today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbams Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Batty, order a couple, at least. They're not expensive, and that way you'll always have a spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Obviously not the case here, since it's not the proper bobbin, But, something else to watch for is a bent case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battynurse Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I did order several new cases so I'm still waiting to use my machine. in the meantime I finished another quilt top for a wall hanging quilt yesterday and nearly have the binding on one of my quilts I quilted on my DSM.

Busy Quilting Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Can you show us the actual bobbin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battynurse Posted July 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 The actual bobbin was a filtec prewound magnaglide bobbin. I'm pretty sure that the case doesn't go to this machine as the case was not fitting with or without the bobbin. The center wasn't large enough to slide over the post in the housing.
