I agree. This happens to me when I stop and reload the bobbin then I forget to put the pressure foot down and wonder what happened...

Another reason it can happen is when your quilt is loaded on the frame but not the right distance from the machine plate, also make sure all sides are same height. Not sure if your frame has four adjustable rails or not. If your tension on the thread is correct and when you do a practice piece NOT on the frame and there are NO loops but on the frame it happens it is the tension of the fabric. I hope this makes sense.

It is not possible to use the Janome 1600P without lowering the foot. It is a fail safe. I have this machine and the only time this happens is if the bobbin tension is too loose on mine. I have another semi industrial and it did that when the top thread came out of the tension wheel. I cured this by using all three holes on the thread guide. This may work on the Janome too. Worth a try.

I have a Gammill and sometimes find this mess in the last twelve or so inches I've quilted. The problem? My thread comes out of the tension easily but will carry on like it's fine. So you have to be vigilant...and I also laid some mirrors on my table to watch the back more closely.
