(The Tech. at the store did say this was related to the top tension, so maybe I will have to spend the $ to get that fixed.) I was always taught to have both threads "up" before starting to sew, so I pull the wheel toward me to draw the bobbin thread up, before beginning.
I have that same bobbin on my Brother SQ-9000, which is 2 years old. You do NOT have to draw it up before sewing. Just wrap that thread around that loop on the left and cut it off. When you start sewing it will automatically come up and sew beautifully. Maybe the problem is that you are trying to pull it up, as I use to have to do on my old Singer 503.
