I've tried adjusting the tension, threading, rethreading, replacing bobbin, you name it. Any suggestions?
I have a Pfaff (not as new as yours, but still a Pfaff), sounds like a bobbin problem. When I've had this problem, I've found that my bobbin is wound wrong. Sometimes too loose, but I've also had a bobbin crack on me and I didn't know it and spent two days with a MESS on my hands. I also had a problem when I didn't get my bobbin locked in place. And lets NOT forget the times I've put my bobbin in backwards. Give your new baby another chance. Good luck and happy sewing.
