I'm not much of a mechanic but when the throat plate is on it's probably keeping something from moving underneath. have you tried reseating the bobbin case?

I tried that. The bobbin is like it should be. Thanks for trying! I appreciate it. Numa

Could the throat plate be somehow hanging up the feed dogs?

There could possibly be thread wrapped BEHIND the bobbin case. That's the next thing I would check.
