sharon...also check your bobbins...i have a babylock that DOES NOT like those prewound ones...they caused numerous problems and were not reliable...so i have them now to use for sewing on bindings or i use them on my janome 6600 as sewing thread...cant bear to just toss them....i did go to the local brother dealer and bought good bobbins made specifically for the babylock...big difference...they brought to my attention some nicks & burrs on the prewounds that were catching & causing misfeeds...im in plano....
