welcome from DE.

Take the throat plate off of the machine and clean all the fuzz from around the bobbin area. Then retread the machine and the bobbin. It sounds like the problem is in the bobbin area.

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. |
It sounds like a tension problem; when the mess is on the bottom it's the top that needs attention and vice versa. Try just rethreading your machine from the beginning to see if that helps.

Bring bobbin thread to top by manually turning hand wheel, stitch in place holding threads, then start stitching
