have you tried cleaning it. rethreading the top and bobbin. mine will do that now and then but it will usually be fine if i rethread everything. also sometimes it will do that if i start to close to the edge.

have her put everything back to normal and test it on plain old straight stitching.

if it works fine, then ... i hate to say it ... the problem might not be the machine.
