I had this prob. last yr. til I begged for help from the grp. They taught me to use a very strong needle & that solved my prob. Now my big prob. is tension. No matter how much I work with it & keep changing them, when I have to use diff. colors in bobbin & top, one color comes through. I'm at a loss now.
