The bobbin seems to fit to tight when I put it on the bobbin winder and move it to the left.
Make sure you are using the correct bobbin for your machine. Some bobbins are very similar to others but are not interchangeable.

Not all bobbins have the same diameter hole though the centre. You may find that the bobbins you are trying to use have a smaller diameter hole than is meant for the bobbin winder.

Simply loosen the screw on the bobbin winder stop, no more than 1 full turn or you will drop the backing nut will fall down into your machine, move the bobbin winder stop slightly to the left then tighten the screw and see if that works. you may have to repeat this step several times until you find the right spot to stop the bobbin at the correct point.

Try adjusting the bobbin tension. My Pfaff (with a front load bobbin) has a tension adjustment on the bobbin housing. When you take the housing out, make sure there is no lint or stray thread caught anywhere in the bobbin casing, load the thread. Then dangle the bobbin housing from the thread end. A gentle pull (more like a ****) on the thread should allow the bobbin casing to slide down 1/2 inch or less. If the casing falls too far, increase the tension on the bobbin thread. Good luck.
