I don't know what else to do. I need her working happily away ASAP. I'm involved in a block swap and the due date is coming up.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I had a Baby Lock Crafters choice that did this. It also frayed any brand of thread I tried. I had it in for servicing twice where I bought it, and once (out of desperation) to a different dealer. I finally tossed in the towel and traded it back where I bought it for a new Pfaff. I love my new sewing machine now. It takes any brand of thread. (I didn't get a price break though, just the usual small trade in allowance.)
