Removing the bobbin case

Open the shuttle cover. There is a small recess on the free arm to facilitate the opening of the shuttle cover.

Grasp the bobbin case with the thumb and index finger so that the latch is depressed and draw out the bobbin case. The bobbin will remain in the case as long as the latch is depressed. When you release the catch, the bobbin will be released.
