You have hit the nail on the head. This morning I was trying to top stitch around a Bow Tucks bag I was making - first the bobbin spit out extra thread, then the machine decided to go back into bobbin threading mode and it took some effort to get started, then I broke a needle and I still couldn't get over the hump on the bag and the bobbin ran out of thread. That's when I decided to quit, besides I had to take DH to an eye Dr. appt. Oh well, perhaps this afternoon will be better.
