Made these and broke the machine

My machine did the same thing yesterday. It turned out a loose screw in the housing that holds the bobbin mechanism in place. Of course I broke three needles before I figured it out. (grin)
Good luck with you machine. I hope it is something minor and easy to fix.

When I first used my Bailey machine the same thing happened and I was absolutely terrified. I had bent a needle and it was stuck half in if that makes sense.
My mother told me to take out the needle. I wasn't able to do that since it was jammed in there badly - so I had to unscrew the plate and remove the bobbin housing and all and then I was able to get the needle out.
You probably have something just stuck in there to be honest with you - clean it out really really good. Do you remember breaking a needle when you made the bags? It might have gotten lodged in the bobbin area - just take it all apart. You'll find the culprit ;)

Lovely bags, you did a great job.
Check the bobbin area. Mine does that when a piece of thread gets stuck in the chase. It can be just a tiny little piece of thread, so take it apart and clean well. Hope that is all it is.
