The bobbin case will not stay in my singer 9410 machine. The case has broken before. I have a new one and I cannot get it to work.

First make sure that the bobbin case locking lever is fully back, away from the bobbin case area. This lever is on the left side and to the back of the bobbin area. The bobbin case needs to be put in so the forked end of the bobbin case slides under the feed (towards the needle and the center of the feed dogs). Next slide the front edge of the bobbin case under the position plate. Then turn the lever towards you to lock the bobbin case in place. Make sure that the bobbin case can still move slightly. If it's tight, move the lever again and reset the bobbin case.

For pictures of replacing the bobbin case, see page 39 of the manual. Singer has PDFs of most of their manuals on their support page: https://www.singer.com/support . The current support page for the 9410 is https://www.singer.com/search/support?title=9410 . The current link to the manual is https://res.cloudinary.com/singer-sewing/image/upload/fl_attachment/Singer-Website-Library/outdated_product/SINGER_7029_7033__7035_and_9410_Sewing_Machine.pdf .

I hope this helps.

After you put the bobbin case in, release it, and then pull on it to make sure it is in correctly.
The gathering is called a "bird's nest", and is caused by the machine not being threaded correctly.
Rethread the machine top and bobbin.
Then, sew a test stitch on a scrap of like material.

the machine needs to be checked to see why thats happening
cause the bobbin case isn't suppose to do that

it sound like the machine needs to be serviced by a sewing machine repair tech

it's possible that either a part is worn, broken, or damaged only a sewing machine repair shop can tell what's wrong

Singer 9410 I take it ??
More detail is always helpful here, saves time and guesswork.
Likely to be worn or broken Bobbin Winder Rubber...like a tyre that runs off the handwheel inside casing when moved to Right side position.

Do you think that it is broken? You can go to www.sewingpartsonline.com and find a new case for $11.99-$13.99. The reason I say this, is because I faced a similar problem a few years ago, I was shocked to find out it was not something I was doing wrong but that it was broken. Take alook at this site and you will see each part for the bobbin case and maybe you can determine if this is the problem

Update:  Today I took my machine in to get serviced - they replaced the metal bobbin I was using with a plastic one, that was a little less rattley inside the bobbin case, replaced the needle with a new, universal one, and changed out the thread with something a little higher quality.  They also adjusted the spring holding the bobbin case slightly, and now it seems to work fine.  I'm not sure how long it will last, but for now I'm good.  

I had the same problem and after looking on here and finding no answer I went back to my machine and found out what the problem was...ok, where the bobbin case sets in,the metal plate beside it needs to be fitted right close to the bobbin case, so loosen the screws(just two of them) that are in the plate(DO NOT REMOVE JUST LOOSEN) and slide the metal plate over some just enough to fit snug...NOT TOO TIGHT... if its seems to sew too tight loosen it a bit It worked for me, GOOD LUCK
