Have you ever seen a bobbin do this?

You may try removing the bobbin holder to make sure nothing foreign is embedded or around it. Once, after sewing over pins, which I KNOW I shouldn't do, my bobbin acted up and I found two badly bent and broken pieces of pins under the bobbin holder. They were bent enough to stick up and cause problems. Also, that would be a good chance to take a brush and clean out lint from that area, something I need to do more often! Debbie

Yep I have had that happen, just recently. It had nothing to do with a sharp object because mine loads at the top of the machine. I think the thread gets loose and it just goes out of control. It happened to me with a very fine thread. I removed that bobbin and did another one and it was fine. So, I will segregate that bobbin as maybe a bad bobbin. (probably toss it as I have lots) Anyway, it happens and as long as it doesn't do it every time or on a frequent basis, I refuse to worry about it! LOL

Have had that happen a few times in my life. Never remember from one time to another what caused it but it's happened....... again! All I've ever been able to do it just cut it loose from the machine and start over again.
