I have seen this! Not sure the cause, I have taken the machine to the repair shop and there it works so I figure it's operator error. At least the messy thread comes out easily! The machine sounds strange when it starts the mess so I can catch it before I have the quilt complete! I learned this after re quilting a baby quilt. This took a while to learn!
Be sure that you hold both bobbin and needle thread before you start the machine. Usually when I re thread the needle and bobbin it then works ok. Good luck
