1st. Take all your thread out top and bottom and rethread your machine. Try it and see if this solves the problem.
2nd. Change to a new needle. I also use the Schwertz.
3rd. IT IS NOT THE TENSION DIAL IF THERE ARE NO OTHER CHANGES; IT IS SOMETHING ELSE!!!

4th. Take the bobbin case out of your machine. Clean out all the dust and crap from the area. Place a drop of oil on that little dot at the bottom of the bottom case.

If your problem comes back, take it to the tech to check the timing. Are you putting a drop of oil in the bobbin area when you clean your machine? This will help.
