Is this a new machine or new to you? If it is a used machine, I would buy bobbins that you know for sure are made for your machine and replace the needle too...

Plastic bobbins are what's reccommended for my machine...but if they have the slightest burr on them my machine gives me fits.
Amma,

You are hilarious! If birds nest isn't a stitch do you think I could do a 'tute' on it?

It's a new machine, but I've had it a few years. It's been sitting in the closet waiting patiently. Now, where did I put that manual?

Thanks for your help, and humor.
:D:D:D Sometimes a little humor can help a frustrating situation :D:D:D
I am happy to hear that you got rid of the nest :wink: Atleast you noticed your nests before you started...mine appeared in the middle of quilting and then I had to rippit rippit rippit :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
