I took out the bobbin case (the black tray the bobbin sits in) to clean out some lint. Now I can't get it to stay in place. It looks like I get it in the right spot but then while I'm sewing, it pops out, makes a clicking noise and doesn't sew correctly.

I do not have an answer for the question this page is supposed to address. What I do have is the same issue. The word "Novice" does not begin to describe my sewing abilities. I just learn the part I'm having a problem with is called a "Bobbin Case". Sad, I know. I've typed in my browser bar every possible way I can think of and I am becoming more confused because nowhere have I found a simplified answer. Such as the reply to the question here, "...press the spring clip...", what the heck is it and where is it so I can press the, fictitious, part?

The chances are you have bent the spring slightly to the right of the bobbin case, take the bobbin case out and press the spring clip downwards very gently, this hould cure it, make sure that you have the bobbin case sitting properly on the raceway.
