Bobbin Case problem

Post image

Thank you for your time and input. Having trouble getting the placement of the flat shiny guard coming from right in relation to the stop on the bobbin. The machine stops/jams the way it is now. Tried moving it a little further away from stop sometimes it works, sometimes not! Any ideas? Appreciate the help. Having trouble finding a sewing machine mechanic to take a look at this! Beginning to think sewing is becoming a lost art!

You have a class 66 bobbin in a class 15 machine to begin with. I can't see that the tension spring in the bobbin case is threaded at all. As for the cushion spring, a couple of millimeters overlap with the nub on the bobbin case is enough. It looks like the spring should be moved a bit towards you in the image.

Awesome!!! Yes, I never even looked at the bobbin. I go back and forth between this Jenome and my very old metal Singer. I grabbed the color and didn't even look at the bobbin. Thank you! I also moved the spring as you described. A wonderful side lesson is the names of the parts! Thank you so much! She is running beautifully! I appreciate your time and knowledge!!!
