Help Singer 45K1 Shuttle Bobbin

[Help Singer 45K1 Shuttle Bobbin]

THanks for your responses It was the shuttle guard ring that wouldn't move. In the end I had to loosen the screw - seems it had been rather enthusiastically tightened.

Hi, I bought a Singer 45k1 yesterday and having got it home I cannot remove the shuttle bobbin.

The manual says to "take hold of the knob, pulling it slightly towards you in order to release the shuttle guard ring"

The "knob" will pull (it seems a bit wobbly/loose) but does not release the shuttle guard ring. As it seems loose I dont want to pull it too hard - but what am I doing wrong????? Pulling my hair out here guys!!!!!

So, there's something wrong with using brute force...?

Man, I must be doing nearly everything wrong.

Hahahahahah me too,

THankyou all for the replies, I have bought a small pair of pliers and that has made life MUCH easier but I will look into smaller needles too (when I work out what size I have hahahahaha) should a smaller needle work even when you are stitching through 0.6cm??? I guess I will have to read much more about sewing and tool selection hahahahaha
