When I was sewing last week I was FMQ'ing with no problems - finished with that and reset the settings. Yesterday I had all my settings back to normal. I have changed the thread, put in a new needle, taken out the bobbin case three times looking for thread in there. Put in a new bobbin twice. Of course I have rethreaded it many times. Checked my tension and pressure.

When I am sewing/testing to see if it is right yet (MANY times) I see a very small loop of thread at the front of my needle with each stitch I take. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am thinking maybe there is a piece of thread in the take-up (if thats the right word) but have no way of seeing in there.

Thanks for any suggestions. Pat
