hmmm, OK, now what!

I tried searching for a previous topic on this, but I am not sure what kind of key words to use.
I was FMQ and moving along just fine, and then my bobbin ran out. I changed it, then KLUNK then the bobbin thread gets tangled. Okey dokey, I stop, untangle, check the bobbin and it looks ok. I look at the back of the quilt, and the stitching looks good for a few inches and then my back side of stitching has a loose loop every 8 stitches or so.
I rethreaded, and it does it again.
I rethreaded, cleaned the bobbin casing, set up, and again, the same thing.
Hmmm.
I walked away before I got upset. Tomorrow I will try using a different bobbin. Anyone else have an idea?

Its just very frustrating to have everything goding great and then suddenly its messed up.

Bet you left the pressure foot down when you re-threaded and your upper thread isn't in your tension discs. Re-thread like you would when you are doing regular stitching and I bet your problems will go away..... ask me how I know this one :oops: :oops: :roll: :roll:
