Thank you for saying that. I have had this happen and couldn't figure out why. I didn't think my tension was off, when I changed though it was still the same mess. Well now I know I need to slow down too. Thanks!!

snip a few threads here and here, and pull on the bobbin thread, as loose as that is, it should pull right out

Been there, done that! The good news is that it's just painful enough that we'll never make that mistake twice!
