I have discovered that most of the time with me it needs a new needle or the machine is not threaded
properly. Going through all the steps never hurts the machine.
If you go through all of the steps and you still have the problem, take the machine in for service.

Phrojangles: The thread upside down hanging from the chandalier is so I don't go broke just buying thread. I used well over 3K yards in my last quilt. I started buying serger thread to save money and I'm too cheap to buy an adapter so it's hanging upside down from the chandalier using a binder clip, a rubber band and a paper clip. When I want to change cones I just unclip the binder clip and clip the new one on.

This has also happened to me when my needle was not quite properly set when I changed it. It could be that the needle turned just a bit or wasn't pushed completely to the top when inserting it.

So this means that the top thread is not catching properly?

Hold both threads when you begin the line of stitching. Or use leaders and Enders.
