    grrrr.......my sewing machine doesnt want to coperate with me! i think its all the bobbins fault. im not sure what size to use. i used a plastic one because it fit on the bobbin filler thing but it was a little loose in the bobbin holder, so i just tightened up the screw a little. now if i sew it works okay, but then when i do a back stich all the stiches on top are way too loose. then i found one metal bobbin that fits on the filler perfictly! okay, so i was just venting, but if any of you could give me some advice it would be much apricatied.

    My old machine had a bobbin case and used metal bobbins, that screw on the case is your tension control, so be careful how you tighten it. ;)

    I only use the shorter, plastic ones now, because my new machine has a "drop in" featue.......no case to mess with. :D
