Switch the sewing machine off and unplug it; prevent accidental foot-pedal operation.
Turn the handwheel toward you to raise the needle fully, then open the bobbin access door.
Following your model manual, remove the bobbin case, shuttle race cover and shuttle; note their orientation.
Brush lint from the feed dogs and shuttle area, and gently lift trapped thread with tweezers while avoiding the needle.
Only for models covered by Singer's front-load shuttle instructions, add one drop of sewing-machine oil at each specifically designated point; never oil another model by assumption.
Refit and secure the shuttle, cover and bobbin case in order. If a part binds or sounds wrong, stop and consult the manual or service team.
