Most of the time when I place a bobbin case and it pops out it is because the case is not properly inserted into the machine. Most machines have some sort of locking mechanism so that the case or bobbin doesn't move when it is inserted, otherwise the bobbin would spin like crazy when thread is removed. I don't have a Singer but I'll try to help. My machine has a little latch that I open to put the case into place. I open the latch, place it on the spindle and close the latch. If the case is inserted properly, it feels snug, not wobbly on the spindle. If I insert the bobbin case incorrectly or slightly "off", the latch doesn't snap into place. If the latch is not on your case, there may be something that moves over the bobbin case to close it, like a little lever.
