I agree, my first line of attack is to rethread, second is to turn off machine and walk away. Third, (do return) is to start over. This usually does it for me, but not always. Then I get out the instruction book.

Take the thread all the way out of your machine and thread it again take the bobbin out and make make sure you have it in properly.
Are you using a quilting or top stitch needle.
Did you cleaned and oiled your machine before you started.
Are you using a good quality quilting thread?
Good luck.
