I ordered a new bobbin shuttle case for my singer 6423 sewing machine. I have received it but now cannot figure out where the little round gasket (or o-ring or whatever it is called) goes. Does it go under the shuttle case or inside the shuttle case? I know how to install the shuttle case itself and the bobbin. I have been surfing the web for hours and cannot find any information. A photo would be even better. Thanks!!!!

the sewing machine may need a new bobbin case,, but I would suggest take the sewing machine to a repair shop to see if there is something wrong with the hook & hook race,,that may be why the bobbin case is coming out.
singer has some free manuals Go to the singer website
Go to the home page
Go to customer service--click on it--it will show a small menu--click on instruction manual
In the box put the model number (example 117) & click search or try youtube
To wind a bobbin put the cotton reel on the top pin, take the thread to the left and round the little wheel and back to the bobbin that should be on the winder, wind the thread round a few times to take a grip, release the stop motion in the balance wheel, turn the winder button so the winder moves to the balance wheel and press on the foot control slowly.
When you put the bobbin in the bobbin case make sure it turns anti clockwise.
This machine has a black plastic bobbin case. You drop the bobbin down into the case with the thread coming off in a clockwise direction. If you look close you will see a slot in the bobbin case where there is the metal pieces. The thread will slide into that and as you pull on it it will work its way through and come out on the other end of the metal. Lay the thread over top of the bobbin case and turn the handwheel to pick up the thread. (make sure you close the slide plate)
These machines are timed by belt and go out of time a lot. Check and see that when the needle passes through the plate and travels upward 1/8" at this point the rotating hook should be right behind and above the eye in the needle,my guess is that it is out probably 1 tooth on the timing belt and can usually be corrected by removing the bobbin case and holding the rotating hookk with on ehand and forcing the handwheel with the other hand which will cause the belt to jump a cog and should put your machine back in time I hope this helps
