Mine all of a sudden hung up. I was sewing quilt blocks and had just finished a seam and started another one. I was chaining them off. It stopped and made a side step. I had to hand wheel the needle backup. I was about half way through a bobbin so I'd been using off it for a while. Had not had to re thread the needle. Had not sewn over a pin, (I do not use pins when I piecing). There was a tiny piece of ling came out when I pulled the fabric away. I took off the throat plate, cleaned it really well.

When I try sewing it does the same thing. I can hand wheel it and the hook is picking up the top thread buy is not dropping it for the next stitch. There will be two loops on the hook, if I continue there will then be three loops on the hook. That is when it then hangs up. It never completes the stitch.
