    I tried everything 2 or 3 times over...new needles, re-threading top & bottom thread, playing with the tension dial, using knotted thread & a dollar bill to clean the tension disc, completely took out the bobbin & case to clean out, and clean the whole machine (wasn't very linty at all), but I am now pretty sure that it was the cheap thread that I was using.

    I would think this is exactly what the problem is. At least ;-) That was the problem when I had these symptoms. <wave>

    That would be doing it! Glad you figured it out. Now you know a lot more trouble shooting ideas anyway. Look what all you learned!!!
