I discovered there was a big piece of lint hidden in one of the tension area (not sure how I missed that...lol). Again, I thank you all for coming to my rescue :thumbup:
Tea :D

Someone else on the forum had this happen after she replaced her machine's metal bobbin with a universal plastic bobbin. Switching back to the metal bobbin fixed the problem.

Glad you got it straightened out!!
K3N....I won't EVER use anything other than the bobbins that go with my machine. Learned that the hard way. Spent money on prewound bobbins, only to have them make my machine go into fits. Politely tossed ALL of those bobbins into the garbage. Ok, maybe it wasn't politely....lol
