How to insert bobbin case for Pfaff Performance 5.0

SOURCE: Needle hits bobbin outer casing

Your hook/needle timing is off and it needs to be seen by a technician before you damage the hook. Some dealers can do a 24 hour repair for an additional charge.

SOURCE: cant put back bobbin case in its place

I'm assuming you took out all the visible thread but usually I find more that you can't see until you disassemble the bobbin casings. Should have instructions in your manual...its not as scary as you think.

If you are nervous about it, take digital pictures every step of the way, so you can get it all back in.

Have some tweezers and a small flash light handy!

That extra bit of thread could be hanging up the system enough for you not to be able to get it back in right.

check to see the bobbin is in correctly first, is the needle in the centre?

SOURCE: Needle breaks due to bobbin case slippage. How do

You CAN fix timing. Of course, it's up to you, but this is how to do it (I have over 30 years experience)...1. Remove the bobbin case. 2. Unthread your machine and put a fresh needle all the way up a's far a's it will go into the needle clamp, flat side flush against the needle bar. Tighten screw. 3. Set your machine on straight stitch, length at 6, and position needle at Center. 4. Remove the shuttle race ring and turn the handwheel a tad over 1/16". Observe the position of the point of the hook. It should be directly 1/16" behind the needle and pass a tad above the needle's eye. Put a drop of sewing machine oil (NEVER use cooking or bath oil! So many have ruined machines tinkering with improper oil!) on hook point CAREFULLY because that point is quite sharp. Use lint brush and gently sweep out any threads that may have broken off and got stuck in that area of machine.
