Welcome Caroline, from Mississippi,USA,I had a friend that went to Tasmaina on Vacation and brought me some fabric from "Grandma's Craft Shoppe" @ 16 Wilmot Road, Huonville, Tasmania. Are you familar with this shop? The fabric is beautiful 100% cotton. On your machine problem, have you checked the tension and also the bobbin case might have a rough place on it. Hope you enjoy the forum.

Maybe your needle had a burr and when the thread runs through the eye of the needle it cuts the thread. Try changing your needle.

Hi and welcome from North Carolina. I have a pen pal who lives there in Tasmania, Australia. I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm sure someone does here on the board. Everyone here is very helpful. :) :)

Welcome from Washington State! Try changing both top and bobbin thread. Also try changing the needle and the tension. Otherwise, you may want to take it in for a tune up. Hope you get it figured out so you can get back to sewing.

I recently had the same problem, switched from an all cotton thread to a poly and no more problem. Check to make sure the bobbin is in correctly sometimes that causes problems.
