It almost sounds like it's still not assembled quite right. Also look for thread jams pretty much everywhere but especially in the bobbin area.
They happen a lot with younger sewers. They don't always remember to put the presser foot down before they start sewing.
I'm sure someone with more direct experience will be along.

Shoot - I was so hoping you would reply because I have seen you really help others on this board. I found on the internet that this name is connected with the Janome name. The good thing about this machine is that you can actually pop the top and sides - you can see everything inside. And when tipping up, the underside it is completely exposed. Reason I am saying this is with shining a light in there, I found NO lint or threads (even from former owner). I was in the room when GD was using it and I didn't observe any thing she was doing wrong.
BUT, having said that, I am going to once again go through that bobbin area to see if I possibly missed something.
