Kathie were you at the shop to see them use the machine to make sure it did work before you brought it home? It must of shaken loose on the way home. It sounds like your top thread tension is too loose and the bobbin/shuttle is too tight. Are you sure the machine is threaded right? The bobbin/shuttle threaded right? Did the needle wiggle loose? Something happened before you got home.
