What's the matter?

The good news was that the dealer serviced it for free since the machine was only 6 months old the first time it happened. :D

My two Vikings have not had a bobbin tension adjustment screw....has to be adjusted at the shop by a technician. Perhaps your machine is made the same since there is no mention of a bobbin adjustment in your manual.

I just looked at the picture again....it does not appear to me the thread has been threaded through the bobbin take-up. Looks to me like it is just winding off the bobbin and coming up through the needle plate. I don't know what brand machine you have and I may not be seeing this correctly so I may be way off base.
