I can sew about 10 inches (did it twice and it did it in the same spot both times) and it will make a catching noise and I look underneath at the bobbin, cause you can't move the material on the top. The thread has wrapped around the hinge that you take a hold of to remove the bobbin.

I've changed thread on both the bobbin and at the top, put a new 15x1 needle in. Also switched directions that the bobbin lays in it's case (neither way seams to make a difference). Is there anything else I should try or can someone help?

Charlee--such a pretty machine and congrats on your annv. I can see how these machines can be addictive. If only I had more room!!!!
Hi,

Here's an owners manual for your 15-91 so you get the bobbin going the right way. I made up a chart with all the various models I have for bobbin direction and needle threading, seems there all different.

Tangles are often caused by faulty top thread tension--I'd give the machine basic maintenance / good going over.

Good Luck
Jon
