Oh, Buslady. That sounds like a bad day for sure sewing wise. I hate it when the machine eats the fabric. Info for everyone -- when you remove a bobbin from its holder, be sure to BACK the thread out and don't just flip the bobbin out and pull the thread on through. That can spring the tension in bottom of the disk. Ask me how I know. I didn't remember ever being told that! Also, don't pull your needle thread back up through the tension disks. Always pull it on down towards the needle and out. Krystyna, I will be a partner for you for this month (July) if you want me. I still have a week, haha.
