Anyone know how to keep the metal holder in the bottom from falling out all the time, allowing the bobbin to drop out? I'm taping it down, but seems tacky.

I've never had mine fall out, but from looking at it, if you pull the tabs outward a wee bit it should fit snugly enough to hold it in place. May require repeating occasionally.

The bobbin slips into a traditional bobbin holder, which then slips into the machine. Very easy to use. Great little work horse of a sewing machine.

It happened with me also, I started watching for the pin to start drifting out of place and any time that I noticed it starting to happen I used a pliers to push it back into place. I suppose that if it gets worse you could use a drop of super glue to secure It in place.

Mine just comes apart easily, in fact it falls off if I lift up the metal part. Maybe because it's old. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

I have the same problem on one I received a week ago. The tap is over sized a bit. I corected the problem with a wrap of heavy aluminum foil and then several wraps w/ teflon tape. It holds pretty well for now, when I have a chance I will add a nut to the inside to make sure it won't slip out. I want to make beer, not deal with the hassle of return...

I did exactly the same with a metal pin. BD headquarter ran out of the metal pin this summer and I got a free one from my BD local center.

I had the same problem with mine, I actually ended up drilling a few holes all the way through and using a pin to keep it from sliding. Hope it helps

I have sometimes problems with that too, that locking mechanism is a weak point of the saw.lubrication does not really do the trick and it attracts dirt, I more than once gave the latch a little love tap with a hammer to loosen it up.

Hi Sam, I had a similar situation with mine. I noticed it was getting a little loose. I opened the jaws of the pliers all the way and placed the head of the rivet on my vise and used a large centerpunch and "re-peened" the rivet. Since it is a stainless steel rivet it worked very well and hasn't loosened back up since then. You just need to make sure the centerpunch diameter is large enough so it won't just hit the center of the rivet. Hope that helped Kevin

I had this problem in the beginning when i first got mine. All of the parts twist and the black thing inside... sorry i don't know what it is called but that could be a little difficult to get out it took me a little bit the first couple of times. Try twisting until it fully comes off. I think you twist to the right to get the parts off and to the left to lock them but not 100%.

Not really. The bobbin winder is on top by the thread holder. It is easy to thread and easy to use. Then you must put it in the bobbin holder beneath the needle.

Mine has warped at the ends. Not safe without adding material at the ends so it doesn't trap a foot and chop it off. I have five of them and they all have done the same with warping. My bottom tray is not staying in place either. the track at the bottom doesn't hold it in place. Will be looking at a different brand.

Mine came right off when I pryed my nail under it. If the unit is faced down, I tugged up on the slot on the side. Or, try contacting the manufacturer. Their literature that came with the unit indicated they have good customer service. Sorry, wish I could help more.

I had a similar issue and found that I needed to adjust the little bobbing pin near the handle, it should be standing straight up at full pressure so try to use a pen to adjust it.

I haven't had that problem, althought mine has come apart several times. I push the part into the upper piece and turn it in the direction shown by the arrow on the lower part to lock it. I'd offer the suggestion to firmly seat the parts together and then twist the two pieces in the direction shown by the arrows. That's all I can offer.

I assume it's locked up also? I'd contact the maker. They seem concerned that their product works well. They responded to my review about the poorly designed locking mechanism so they might just send you a replacement. Worth a shot!

Hello, I purchased this item and have the same slipping problem. I have to purchase Velcro also. I've decided that a strip of Velcro across the end of the flap that goes under the mattress, then another strip that will go across the back of the organizer at the seam where the box part will hang down the side of the bed.I'm going to place the Velcro on the flat of the box spring so it will have a stronger hold. I think it will be helpful to have a second pair of hands for this job. I pinned the organizer in this manner, and I think it's the best option, I hope this helps you Tana
