When that happens to me, it means I have put my bobbin thread in the wrong direction. But I only have a domestic sewing machine. My Janome (a 6600P) was very bad about it, but my 60 year old Singer 15-91 was not as bad - but it was enough to make me say mean things to my machine.
I have a domestic sewing machine, it's the Singer Futura and I love it! I had tried everything I could think of and nothing I did seemed to help. So, I went back and did a much more detailded cleaning than I did to begin with.
The older machines were certainly much more simple to work with. All the bells and whistle you can get in a machine these days just mean more problems to work out! But, when they work they are fun to use. Thanks so much for helping!
