I've put the bobbin case from the non finicky featherweight into the finicky one. No more thread jumping out of the bobbin case, and no more skipped stitches. I think I am fixed! I will order a new bobbin case for Miss Finicky. Thank you everyone, for your assistance!

I just ordered a replacement spring. I will try swapping it out before looking for a new bobbin case.
