I have tried everything. I changed the needle, I rethreaded, I rethreaded with a different thread, I tried sewing on different fabric, I adjusted the tension knob, I adjusted the tension screw, I rethreaded my bobbins, and nothing is helping. I am freaking out a little! Is it time to take my sweet girl to the hospital?
You did not say what kind of sewing machine you are using. Did you check for lint and dust or a small piece of thread caught in the in the bobbin area? If your machine is a modern one she may be out of time and need to go in for servicing.
