The thread tension disc on the upper left of the machine......make sure the thread is under the little arm, not on top of it. Check your manual and follow it precisely. Worked for me.
Thank you for the explanation. I wasn't sure if you meant this, but I'm already doing this correctly. At the moment I can still use my machine for piecing - after having fiddled with the bobbin tension - the stitches don't look great but they hold firmly. I'll bring it to the dealer next week before I'm off on a two week holiday.
