If your bobbin shuttle is metal you need to put one drop of oil in the shuttle area and then run the machine for awhile without thread or fabric. This will keep it running smoothly.
Love the responses everyone....glad I'm not the only one!! And yes, I LOVE the money he saves me. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I may never get a new washer and dryer though!!!!!
mzsooz -- I'd not heard of running the machine without thread........to distribute the oil. I DID oil it though!!! I'll try that, too. Seems to me the bobbin "snags" rather than is tight, so that may be the answer! You may have saved me more $$! I was going to order a new bobbin case!!! Thanks!
