This happened to me YESTERDAY on my last row of quilting. Needless to say, I am still getting it out. But I did retread, change bobbin and clean and my sample worked fine. Good luck.

I had that happen once and I took the bobbin case out, cleaned everything, rethreaded both ends and everything was fine. Don't know what actually happened, but ugh, at least I fixed it.

Try a new bobbin, rethread the machine (snip it at the spool and pull out through the needle end) and finally, clean the machine. A new needle wouldn't hurt either.

I've corrected this mess by just re-threading the machine as you said. I also make it a habit to check the back of my stitching at the end of each line that I sew so that I won't have as much to correct if this happens.

rethread your machine, the thread probably jumped out of the thread take up and that is what happens.

I found the top thread wasn't threaded right.. rip out and continue on, happens to all of us at one time or the other.

My experience is that it takes less time to start over than to fight with it. I unthread the machine and wind a new bobbin and then rethread and then it works fine. I will be interested to see what others say

I think machines just get tired and want a rest! Follow advice above and add a new needle and by the time you get all that done, the machine will have recovered from its snit. froggyintexas

I totally agree with Deb.
