Tried winding bobbin at slower speed. My stitches are now looking normal. After sewing about 12 inches the awful noise starts again. The noise is still coming from the bobbin area. Seems like the bobbin is spinning way too fast. Any other tips I can try.

In a drop-in bobbin, sometimes the "bump" on the plastic bobbin case (on the right / front) gets a scratch on it. Then the thread gets caught on that scratched plastic. You can fix it by using a very fine sandpaper (about 400-500 grit). You only need to brush it with sandpaper about 3 or 4 times -- be very gentle. I see the damaged plastic bobbin cases a lot.
If that's not it, it could be that the bobbin case retainer needs to be adjusted. That's a simple fix that your sewing machine tech can do. |
I would try (which I am sure have already done) and make sure your bobbin thread is threaded correctly and that the raceway is clear of debris.) The older I get, I have to check behind myself several times to reassure myself that I have, in fact, done it correctly.

Did you check online to see if there is a troubleshooting or FQ&A section on your machine?
I had trouble with my bobbin once and it turned out that a piece had broken off the shuttle. |
I was so concerned of using oil on my self oiling machine. I put a drop on an old lid & applied a touch with a q-tip. My gosh it solved my noise problem. The bobbin is no longer jumping around. Thank you so much for your suggestion. [QUOTE=NJ Quilter;7756398]If your stitches are now normal perhaps you need a drop of oil somewhere?? Again, not familiar with your machine but noise generally equals lack of lubricant. If it's a 'self

Glad you solved your problem! Sometimes I have problems if I wind a bobbin on a machine other that the one I'm actually sewing with.
