I ordered a new bobbin case for the make and model online- easy fix
When I replaced it the problem got solved
The old one had a tiny chip in it caused from me pulling on the fabric when the thread from the bobbin got stuck. I'm much more careful how I handle my machines now.

Love my Sapphire 870 for everything. Use free motion floating setting, reduce pivot height to either -1, -2 or -3. Purchased open toe metal foot. I just like it better than plastic R foot. Using silk thread to quilt this now. Glide prewounds in bobbin.

I had problems with mine until i took it in for a cleaning. They replaced the take up lever ( under warranty) with a different style. It's been behaving since then. I do have to increase the tension manually when I FMQ. The only thread it refuses is the clear poly that i like to use as the top thread on scrappy quilts.
I usually piece with Aurifil and FMQ with King Tut or Star thread.

That's where I fall down; practicing. I get something going that I want to finish and think: I don't have time to practice on this one so I'll just stitch in the ditch and so... no practicing, again.
