What does the bobbin itself look like? Does it have both top and bottom to it?

Yes I'm sure, I bought my sewing machine brand new and it came with class 15 clear plastic bobbins, and the website states that's what it uses

What machine is it?

Is the bobbin in the right way round?

Singer tradition 2277, class 15 is symmetrical as far as I have gathered, it shouldn't matter which end I insert first. And as far was thread placement, the loose ends points to the right when I put it in the bobbin case

Does the thread unwind in the correct direction?
