Can anyone post a picture of this?

Just a different idea. Same happens to me sometimes, After I check thread, bobbin, etc., I change the type of thread. One of my machines uses C & C. The others I can use Gutterman's. Strange but true.

I would thoroughly clean around the bobbin area, change the bobbin, change the needle, make sure the machine is threaded properly, and if all that failed, I go see my machine repairman! It's usually something we haven't done right though, sad to say. Why oh why do these things happen right in the middle our special creations!!!

Yes, re-thread, clean bobbin area...but I also use the Magic Bobbin Washer by Schumacher...Susan Schumacher made it just for this very reason- no more bird nests for me.

When I have a similar problem, I change the bobbin....Don't know why but this seems to work.

1. Be sure needle and thread and fabric are compatible. Right size needle, thread content and wt and is fabric 100% cotton or a combination.
2. Always use a new needle on a new project. 3. Clean bobbin area and oil where manual indicates. 4. Re-thread needle and bobbin. 5. Hold both needle and bobbin threads for several stitches. If doing all of the above fails, it time to take machine in for repair! I hate it when this happens, but in my case it is usually operator error! Don't give up. |

About two weeks ago, I had the same thing happen, first once, then every time I moved. I took it to 'the shop' to see if I was doing something wrong and after much trial and error, they decided to keep it. It turned out a tiny piece (size of a plain pin head) had worn off and needed to be re placed. the patient is out of the hospital and doing fine.
