Live and learn.. and ask for help from others thanks again
I take the plate off and clean my entire bobbin area after every two bobbins and put a drop of oil on the little center pad when it begins to look dry. Some of my friends do it after every bobbin. It might seem like a lot of bother but in the 2 1/2 years I had my 6500, I didn't have to take my machine to the "Dr". My new 8200 is responding well to the TLC. Preventative maintenance pays.
