Welcome from Houston TX!

Can't help you with your problems but welcome to the quilting board.

Welcome from Omaha, NE.

Welcome from WI.

I have the same machine, I now oil every 3-4 hours of sewing and clean out the lint even if it isn't much. get a anti spin piece for the bobbin, and a spool holder. it all worked and now i saw stress free.

I had this last week-end, so I cleaned everything ,changed needles,re-threaded, oiled and took bobbin out and put new one in. This didn't fix my problem.So I got a can of air (like you clean computer key boards out with) and used it to clean out everything again. Worked like a charm! Good Luck

Make sure it is threaded right, then a larger needle, and just loosen the tenn just slightly. Remember each st the thread is going through two layers of fab + the batting. The needle has to make a big enough hole for the needle and the thickness of the 2 threads and if it is meeting in the middle like it should there is 4 threads.... Biggest thing is I think you need a larger needle and a steady hand with movement.... good luck

Welcome from MN and happy quilting :)
