Does the owner's manual offer any suggestions? Have you called the shop where you purchased it to see if they can give you any direction?
I have a Brother and I love it. And yes, I have been known to put the bobbin in bass-ackwards. Just take your time. Mine tells me if I have made a mistake with the bobbin or the spool of thread and then I have to sit there and figure it out. And when it purrs, it feels so good that you did something right. And if you have the thing that you press and the needle moves from left to center to right, make sure it is in the center. I did buy some bobbins that were supposedly supposed to work, and it seems like they do, even though Brother says they don't. Big Brother is Watching!!!!!! I got them when one of our Hancock's was closing down and I use my Sidewinder to fill all the bobbins (while I am watching a tv show) and put them in a Truvia container and I have bobbins to last me a year, a least. They are all working. I have two more bobbins to use and then I have about 50 bobbins to fill. I use natural and I buy a dozen spools of natural thread made by Essential by Connecting Threads - 1200 yard skeins. Good luck to you and your Brother. I named my machine Little Brother - I have two sisters so why not name my sewing machine Little Brother. Right? Edie
