In the arm that goes on the under side of your quilt, you will see an open end. This is where your bobbin case sets. Lift the lever on the bobbin case and pull toward you. The bobbin case will come out and you can load a new bobbin. Be sure the bobbin unwinds clockwise and you have the thread securely under the tension spring.

When putting the bobbin case back in, do not hold the bobbin by the lever, just push the bobbin back into place until you hear a "click". This will tell you the bobbin is in place securely.
