What could the problem be??
After reading this whole thread and going back and reading the original post again, I'm wondering if it's not just an issue of making sure the take up lever is over the top of it's travel so the last stitch has finished. If that hasn't happened then the thread will still be tight because the hook hasn't finished it's travel for that stitch. Clear as mud?
