Help.... bobbin thread messed up
I was doing some free motion had about 1/2 of quilt done and realized that the bobbin thread isn't sewing.... I can take ahold of it and pull it right out.
I have cleaned the machine, oiled, changed needle, thread... rethreaded, changed bobbin.... sewed on a scrap just normal sewing it does it then too.
Any suggestions. Please... Just got it back from the repairman......tooo
thanks.

I recently had a similar problem with my featherweight, just regular sewing.
I cleaned everything thoroughly (including removing throat plate to get to feed dog area), turned upside down and sideways & shook to be sure anything that could be causing trouble was out, oiled, rethreaded top and bottom.
Somewhere in this process the offending lint, thread or whatever got out of the way and all is well now.
Hope this helps!

When that happened to me, I discovered that for some unknown reason, I had started putting my bobbin in backwards. I was very carefully putting it in backwards. Finally, I got out my manual and went step by step through the entire process and figured out what I was doing. This was not a new machine, there was no reason, but that was it! Weird! It seemed to only cause a problem when FMQ. Didn't notice on straight stitching.

Mine has one of those little plastic drop in bobbin cases. For some reason the tension suddenly vanished. No matter what I did I couldn't get it to hold tension. I ordered a new one and after I cleaned and oiled my machine I limped it along for a while. Then no matter what I tried the thread kept breaking. I finally had to give up and take it to the shop.
There was a whole bunch of thread caught in a place I couldn't see and the timing was goofed up.
It's sewing like a dream now.

One thing they taught us with the Innova Longarm.......when you experience that kind of issue, rethread the machine. When it has happened to me, I realized I had missed one little "hole". They suggest that's the first thing to try no matter when the issue seems to be. If it is not what was causing the problem, at least you've "tried" to troubleshoot. (It could also be a bottom tension issue -- caused by bobbin issues). Good luck!
