Problem w/ metal plate over bobbin

Here are the steps to open the bobbin compartment on a Singer 4411 sewing machine:

1. Turn off the sewing machine and unplug it from the power outlet.
2. Locate the bobbin compartment on the front side of the machine, below the needle plate.
3. Hold the handwheel on the right side of the machine with your right hand and turn it towards you (counterclockwise) until the needle is at its highest position.
4. Slide the bobbin cover release button, located to the right of the bobbin compartment, to the right and hold it there.
5. The bobbin cover should now pop open. Gently pull it towards you to fully open the compartment.

To close the bobbin compartment, simply push the bobbin cover back into place until it clicks and locks into position.

Possible bent or wrong needle. If ok, check the zig-zag mechanism to see if it has come uncoupled from the needle mechanism. Good luck!

On the right of the black bobbin case there are two screws, you can slacken those screws off and move the bobbin case nearer to the guard leaving enough room for the thread to pass through, if the needle is hitting the bottom you may need to retime the machine.

Take it apart again and compare the original screw with the one you substituted. If they are not the same size, you will need to get one that matches the original.

Re-place the needle plate and when firmly in place, put the screws back in.

If the plate is moving up and down eithetr the teth are set far too high pushing the plate up or the teeth are set too far forward, I would go for the first, if the teeth are coming up well above the slot they are too high, they should be set so that when you look alongside the plate you can just see the top of the teeth, you can adjust the teeth by adjusting the screws underneath the machine where the teeth are.

unscrew the black plate that holds in the bobbin case and move it over to the left just a little bit, but make sure there is still clearance between the lower right corner of the case and the plate. The case should be able to wiggle a little, but not so loose it can pop out..
