Wondering if anyone can help naming this sewing machine part? as I have broken it and need new part.

Well done Auntieflo that's the one term I didn't think of grin

Would it be the "Bobbin Stopper"?
This is next to the Bobbin Spool Pin, on which you place the empty bobbin for winding.

Mine's a newer model, but I'm sure they're similar.

Is it the bobbin winder? A flatter, round piece that keeps the bobbin in place when you fill it with thread?

It's the bit that stops the bobbin flying off the spindle and also stops the winder once the bobbin is full. I have used every possible descriptor I can think of, but haven't had any luck either. I'd suggest you email Brother with your photos and ask their advice. Sorry not to be more help.

Hello bikergran, My sewing machine is Frister and Rossman, but according to my instruction manual, the piece I think you're referring to is called the bobbin winder, and next to that is the spool pin. I hope this helps, and you manage to get it fixed.

I did draw round the part I am looking for but it doesn't seem to have worked. On the first pic it is the piece that sits to the right (the one that shows in the black and white pic) it just names one part as a bobbin pin, but it is the other little part I need. ? hmm

Hi everyone especially any sewing machine people.

I am not a too well up on the sewing machine, but have dabbled.

I needed to sew something but have realised I must have banged my machine at sometime and snapped off two parts .

I have managed to find a new part for one of them. But for the love of me I cannot find what this other part is called.

It isn't the Bobbin pin, it is the piece that sits next to it.

I have searched the manual, googled, ebayed , looked on the Brothers website but cannot find the name of this part. confused. As I need to order a new part.

My machine (prob quite ancient as I had it given to me over 10 yrs ago)

BROTHER XL 2120

If I can find the correct name it may help me search for the correct part. Fingers crossed there will be some eagle eyed gran that may be of help. Thanks all smile

I will try and post pic. It is the little piece to the right on the black and white pic.
