Uh-oh!

I may have a problem here...my 5yo just dropped one part of a snap down into the hole at the bobbin winder. It won't come out. I tried turning the machine upside down and can hear it rattling around. Taking my machine in right now is not financially possible either. Do you think it will hurt anything? I am super stressed out right now and dealing with a difficult teen...if I can't sew I might explode!

Do you have a thin/narrow set of tweezers? I would try to hunt it down with great care and much patience.

You can take the top of the machine off, usually a couple of screws. All machines I have seen with top winding bobbins you can take the top off. It's the only way to fix the bobbin winder when it breaks. You can't hurt the machine by taking the top off, it's easy. Usually there are a couple of screws holding it. Do not take the wheel apart, that is where the clutch is and it's like opening a can of worms. Other than that the machine can be disassembled easy.
