Sometimes thread gets itself buried in the bobbin case or in the tension disks. It takes just a tiny tuff of thread to cause all kinds of problems! Take a look with a flashlight with the bobbin and bobbin case removed. Look at the bobbin case itself too. Occasionally I use unwaxed dental floss and floss the tension disks, just to make sure I clean those out too.

Perhaps the bobbin just isn't seated correctly? Sometimes just that tiny bit is the problem. Take it out, check for dust bunnies and hidden thread, and then make sure it seats correctly when replacing. Also, make sure to change your needle.
In the meantime, have a GREAT time quilting with your friend.
