So Frustrated!!
#52
I have a cheap brother that I use for fre motion quilting. I had the same trouble with it on the last quilt I was working on. I didn't have any of the "washers" to try. I cut out a piece of notebook paper the same size as my bobbin and put that in the case before adding the bobbin. It worked for me. But my brother is not a drop in bobbin. So I am not sure how it would work for you. Good luck with your machine. Don't give up. Just take a breath and have patience that you can get it working.

No, the dealer only offered class on how to use it after I called saying I couldn't get it to work. I got it right at closing time & I think they were ready to go home. :/ I got it working i think, but I think I'll still go down to make sure everything is ok on it.

I have a Husqvarna and I had the same issue once. I re-threaded the machine and re-loaded the bobbin until I was blue in the face. I even took it in to have the experts look at it. As it turned out, nothing was wrong with my machine nor my threading/bobbin loading technique. It was simply the brand of thread I was using. I traditionally use the Gutermann brand but ran out in the middle of a project. I had a comparable color in the Coats & Clark line so I used that. My machine did not perform well at all and I had a huge rat's nest on the bottom of the fabric, the tension messed up and the automatic thread cutter locked up. The experts at the shop asked what type of thread I use, and suggested that the brand might be the issue. We took out the C&C, got out another color of the Gutermann to try and the machine purred again. Strange, but true story! If you've tried all of the other options you've mentioned, plus this one, and still no luck then take it back to see if they will exchange the machine for you. Best of luck to you!
