I have found that sometimes it was how I was holding my mouth or something when I was threading it. The rest of the time it has been a itty-bitty piece of thread or just some fuzz built up. Either way, completely taking it apart and putting it back together fresh and clean (and oiled) seems to fix it. Good luck!
I do the same thing. Mine usually does it suddenly after I have been sewing a lot. I think it is the build up of lint in the feed dogs and bobbin case that affects my machine the most. But as stated above, I clean, oil if need be, rethread, etc. and am usually good to go without a maintenance visit. Good luck.
