Not all LA are created equal. I have had a lint blob lodge in my bobbin tension spring mid bobbin so sometimes just making sure to clean out the bobbin area between each bobbin is not enough. Having to rip out several rows of panto due to bad tension because a lint blob lodged in my bobbin spring in the middle of a bobbin has made me gun shy when it comes to linty threads. Granted, ripping stitching on bad tension is a lot easier, it is still a big pain in the patooty. Just putting it out there for a new-bee. I am pretty sure the OP is getting an Innova which is the same machine I have so she will most likely have similar experience.
