You release the bobbin nut by, pulling the RED NOB out, that holds the threaded bobbin (be careful not to discard or lose the spring attached) then just release bobbin off machine.

Take out the metal part and pull. It was tight for me initially but easier now. If it's not coming out pull harder!

Tighten your upper tension. Also, make sure you hold your bobbin with your finger when you are threading it. You should feel a kind of catch then it is in the right place. Lastly, made sure your needle is in correctly and tight, sometimes the vibration of the machine will loosen the needle.

When you are taking out the case with the bobbin inside, you are holding the case by an open latch. Close the latch back unto the case, and the bobbin should come out easy. If it doesn't then something maybe is wrong.

On the inside once you remove the spool there is a spring clip. Remove the clip and turn the bearing over. Put the clip back in and it will now be left hand retrieve.

When the mower is on its side, you turn the nut counterclockwise. I had to coax it gently with a hammer. Tap on the socket wrench with just enough force to get it started. Also, using a spray such as liquid wrench helps loosen the nut.

Just pry it open along the seam. Feels like you are going to break it, but you won't.

Just pull it straight out or maybe try twisting a little to left or right as you're pulling it out. It has a little bit of tension to keep it in place but a good tug will release it.

You remove the metal hanger and pull the draw string. Do it all the time to take it to laundromat.

Reinsert your bobbin and make sure you have it caught in the slot on bobbin case.After that hand turn your machine over.Rotate the wheel forward to go down into the bobbin case area.Thread should rotate around and be caught up by the sewing machine hook.Than the bobbin thread should come to the top.If this doesn't happen your timing on your machine might have been push off. Did you try to sew a really heavy fabric or thickness.This can move the timing out of placement.It will require having it checked by a sewing machine repairman.But first recheck that both top and bottom thread are threaded correctly.Also check your needle to see if it is bent or worn.Replacement is the easiest test. Also check to see if there is a lot of lint build up in the bobbin area.It can be cleaned out with canned air. How long have you had your machine and how much have you used it? Without seeing the machine I'm guessing at possible causes of problems with the machine.Did you have any problem with the tension before this problem came up?

The handibobs do not go in the machine. They just sit on the top of the spool of thread and hold the bobbin until you want to use it. Hope that helps.

it has left handed threads. turn it counter clockwise to loosen. a small impact wrench might help?

YD is right. First push the body forward to take the pressure off the handle release switch. Then step on the handle release (a toe won't work unless you have bionic toes), and gently pull the body back. Works every time for me.

I just hemmed 4 pairs of jeans. I used a heavy duty needle and had to raise the presser foot at the seams to get over the thickness but it did a good job.

Should be an allen wrench set scree on top...turn it to increase the tension...push down on the wrench while in screw to release all tension

Sounds more like a statement than a question, try ejecting the cartridge using a small screwdriver push away from the handle on the white square at the center of the cartridge it should just pop off,then run some warm water on the head of the handle to soften any buildup, manually exercise the pivot and eject mechanisms to free them, then shake out the water and lubricate with a few drops of light mineral oil like the kind used on electric razors and beard trimmers, 3 in one multipurpose lubricant used on sewing machines should do the trick.

I had not try them with Mettler threads until now, they do work. You have to push the Handi Bobs a little hard and they stay and go all the way in. I am loving this thing, keep the bobbins organize better.
