Hello!

First post here.

I've serviced my featherweight in the last year or so, with no use but some travel since that time. It came home with a clean bill of health, and I am a novice at this point so I'm reaching out to yall fine folks. I'm trying to load the bobbin with thread, and the manual says to turn the silver part on the wheel towards you to disengage the sewing mechanism. I felt the piece turn as i think it should, but the sewing mechanism is still engaged.

Any thoughts? Thank you in advance! I was sewing when i took the photo, so I'm aware it doesn't exactly match the problem, but i figured that would be okay
