Bobbin case on my 524fb necchi has come apart

NO. IF IT IS TOO TALL IT WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM. GO TO THE LOCAL SEWING MACHINE SALES AND ASK IF THEY HAVE THE RIGHT ONE. ALSO, YOU CAN TAKE OUT THE BOBBIN CASE (HOLDS THE BOBBIN) AND TAKE IT WITH YOU. MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T EXCEED THE HEIGHT OF THE CASE AND IT SHOULD SPIN FREELY.

Check with a sewing machine repair shop. Bring the old belt with you, if possible. Otherwise, be sure to have the make & model number with you.

HINT: before you install the shuttle, make sure to place a drop of sewing machine oil around the outer edge of the shuttle and lightly spread it around the outer edge (you should do this about every time you change a bobbin). Sorry, you'll probably need to be familiar with removing and installing the shuttle. Have patience! Once you've done it a couple of times, you'll wonder why it was so difficult.

It usually helps if you can tilt the machine back about 45 degrees so it is supported by something (pillow, cushion) so you can get good visibility into the bobbin area.

Raise the needle so that the take-up bar is at its highest point.

Make sure the outer hinged door on the shuttle area is open. Inside that open door is a metal unit that is shaped like a "C". The shuttle makes up the other part of the "C". The two C's face each other and complete the circle. Grasp the shuttle by the projecting bobbin pin. (Perhaps the photo & videos will help you in placing the shuttle (you'll probably need to wiggle it around a little until it pops into place.) Once the shuttle has snapped into place and you've closed and latched the outer cover, you can install the bobbin case.

try changing the needle to see if that helps
if it doesn't,, then I suggest that the sewing machine be checked
at a repair shop to see if the bobbin case needs to be replaced and
to see if the hook and the hook race need to be replaced

here's a link for a manual for the machine

Hi,
Check out www.sewingstyle.com. I saw a foot control for a Necchi 524 there for around $25. I hope it was you are looking for. Good luck

if you have a snap in sewing table remove it first
at the bottom in front of the needle plate area is a bobbin case door
when you open it there is the bobbin case & also should be the feed dogs
always keep the bobbin area clean of lint or loose threads
take note of how the bobbin case is inserted in the bobbin area,, see where the thread tail is at on the bobbin case
then make sure the bobbin is wound correctly or it can cause sewing problems
reinsert the bobbin into the bobbin case the same way it's removed

I also have a necchi sewing machine, the base of your is like the base of mine, if you need a picture of inserting the bobbin,, send me a comment with your email address & I will send you a picture of the threading the bobbin case & inserting it

Inserting bobbin into the bobbin case or problem inserting bobbin case into the shuttle?

Make sure the thread will feed from the bobbin clockwise and through the guide on the bobbin case.

Lift the lever on the bobbin case to hold the bobbin in place as you inset the bobbin case into the shuttle.

If the bobbin case for this machine as a "finger", this has to align with the opening in the shuttle.

If you cannot readily see this - move the bobbin case a bit to the left and right until it clicks into place.

Look in the bobbin area to see where the screw fell out. Check your manual. Sometimes they have a good picture of the bobbin area.
