Re: I having trouble putting my bobbin in my Juki TL 98E....
Well you could one or two make sure that the bobbin is set correctly or make sure that the parts is not bent or out of place this would make the bobbin not work propery. Ok

Coming out? You mean thread breaking? This is always incorrect threading or incorrect tension, or rotten thread.
The videos explain how to set the bobbin tension first and then as long as your threading is okay, any other adjustment is done on the top tension. Bobbin tension only needs very small adjustments and is just enough to stop the thread from falling under the weight of the bobbin.
According to the manual (pg 20), it appears the bobbin turns clockwise in the bobbin case. So when the bobbin is loaded and the thread pulled, the thread direction goes right, then doubles back through the tension mechanism to the left.
There are a couple of things I recommend that you check. First, make sure that the bobbin is evenly wound. This is a function of the bobbin winder tension; see the manual (page 15) for that adjustment. Next, check if the bobbin case tension is correct. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case and dangle the unit from the thread. Try to shake the bobbin case up and down, sort of like a yo-yo. The thread should advance by a bit. If the thread length doesn't change, loosen the set screw on the side of the bobbin case a small amount. If you get a really long tail of thread, tighten the set screw. See page 21 of the manual.
Next check for any loose threads and dirt in the housing around the bobbin case. Depending on the length of time that you have been using the needle, replace the needle.
Be sure you have installed a brand new needle. If it still does not pick up the bobbin thread, the machine may be out of time.
If the presser foot does not set firmly on the fabric, then that is what you want for free motion quilting. However, if you mean the presser foot is sloppy (wobbly), then the attachment may be loose or the presser foot is worn.
I had problems as well, especially when trying to outline quilt. I found using a Schmertz Metafill needle, or an embroidery, anything with a larger eye, helped.
Juki TL-98Q
Loading the bobbin into the bobbin case:
Snap in the bobbin case latch, and put the bobbin into the bobbin case so that the bobbin runs clockwise.
Passing the thread through the **** of the bobbin case, continue passing it under the thread tension spring, and pull out the thread open end about 10 cm from the bobbin case.
Insert the bobbin case fully into the hook, and close the bobbin case latch.

It can be many things but first make sure the needle is in correctly, follow the manual to be sure, if it still does not pick up the bobbin thread you may want to bring it to a repairman to see if it is out of timing.
First, change the needle, second, set the tension 3-5 if it only goes to 8. Next, unthread the machine with new thread and be very careful to make sure the thread is in the tension wheel.
My friend and I both have the Juki 98Q but on different frames - we were both having problems (needles breaking, thread getting tangled) we removed the thin metal thing inside the bobbin case and have had no problems since (over a year now!).
