Yes, on my previous mahine. I agree that it had something to do with not winding the bobbin properly. I have purchased the bobbin winder machine and wound just a couple but it did not do a good job like my machine and I had trouble with skipping stiches. It may be just the way I use it but I will be listing it on Ebay to solve the problem.

timing off maybe? and the needle was hitting it just enough to cause that? Thats odd..hopefully your machine isn't damaged. =)

My old machine did that to me before. That thing was possessed I swear. I think it was a combination of a few things. Tension, timing and the demon living inside it needed a snack.

I have had it get all wadded up but never cut.

Similar problem bobbin not wound tight enough.

I have had issues with bobbins on the Brother but not to that degree. I always forgot to set the motor speed to the high setting for bobbin winding.

Yes, just the other day. Bobbin not wound correctly. Next one worked fine. Now to try to get the thread off the mis-wound bobbin.

I've had that happen before. Something obviously inside did do the cutting. It's definitely cut. I think I realized that I had the bobbin backwards or that it was improperly wound, I can't remember which.(Oh, or wound too full - that might have been it. I no longer wind them until they stop. (I also use brothers).

Yep, I have a Brother 6000. Very fussy when the bobbin case has some dirt/lint in it. The auto cutter will stick out and that can be the result. Clean it often and that prevents the bobbin mess.

Yes - it happened to me. I took my machine to a little quilt shop down the road from me and was told that my bobbin was the wrong size. I needed a "mushroom top" bobbin. Haven't had any trouble since. It was weird.
