I'm sure it's thread jammed in there. We have unscrewed the whole machine and can't get it to come apart, and under the bobbin area, which is where the problem is, is a metal bar that we can't get off or move even when we unscrewed it. We found a small white plastic thingy and that probably came off one of the plastic white gears.... ERRRRR. Now I'm debating on whether or not I want to get it fixed now or later and/or get another machine. I started up the FW and it's just so not the same.... But it sews so perfectly :)

Thank you all for the compliments! At least I got the bags finished! The smaller one for my daughter is when I started to have problems and I know for a fact that it's when I did the handles because it was late and I wanted to get it done. I normally have no problems with the handles on any of the other bags I made but I did the handles differently this time. Next time, I'm sticking to "usual" way.
