The bobbin stays fixed and releases thread under bobbin tension. The part that moves is the hooked arm that is around the bobbin. This is disconnected when you are in bobbin winding mode, so make sure you are in sewing mode. Here is your manual
The bobbin size is Singer 15j, it is in your manual, you just have to look hard for it. I don't know why they make it so difficult to find, don't feel bad that you didn't see it right away. . Do Not Use #66, they will not fit right. Go to a fabric store, like JoAnn's and get them from them. You can also find them on Ebay, for a lot less and free shipping. 15j is a little smaller than a 15 and is made for the 7400 series of Singer Sewing machines. Even Amazon sells them if you are not near enought to a JoAnn's or fabric store.
Did you know all sewing machines are threaded in the same way. The parts just look a little different. If you can thread one machine you can thread them all. Dont you have an instruction book? If not get any instruction book for a simular looking machine. There are many you can dowload for free as a pdf file.
MAKE SURE you are using the correct SIZE bobbin. Some of the older plastic bobbins don't swap around in the newer machines & just because they LOOK the same doesn't mean they are. If you are absolutely POSITIVE you are using the right size bobbin (mark it w/ a permanent marker if you have to, to keep track of it), check & double check you are putting the bobbin in the case in the right direction & make sure there aren't any loose threads anywhere in the area where the bobbin sits... be sure all little dust bunnies are removed. I know it sounds redundant but get your book out & be POSITIVE you are threading thru all the thread paths in the right direction. My Babylock is supremely **** when it comes to putting the shuttle back in after I've cleaned the bobbin area & if I don't get it back exactly where it supposed to go, it won't sew right. I always have to get my book back & check it out again step by step. I have it do crazy stuff just because there was a little tail hanging out where the bobbin started to wind that I didn't cut off close enough.
