I have a Memory Craft and when that happened to me, it was the last thing I checked. Change the needle. If it is the least bit bent, it will cause the bobbin to gather the thread.

l have this machine as well the only problem l have had is with the bobbin filling which if you don't do it right it uses up all the bobbin and does not sew right. when you thread up to refill the bobbin pull your thresd tight till you hear a click then it is threaded to wind your bobbin correctley. to test if this is your problem test with a bobbin wound on a different machinehope this helps
