Last night I almost threw my sewing machine out the window. I have been over it -- bobbin is in right, tension is right...blah blah blah. But no matter what, when I backstitch (in any stitch) then make a few more stitches, the damn thread catches on the bottom (bobbin part) and everything gets stuck. ARGH!
During a quiet time last night -- kids in bed, husband traveling, full glass of wine -- I figured out how to make some very cute adult headbands. I was soooo excited to have figured out a little measuring and elastic length when, everything went down. I am a self-taught sewer and haven't even followed a pattern yet, so I am thinking this is the problem. I googled and read for an hour, and nothing helped me figure out what's happening.
So I guess I'm going to lug my machine to the local sew room and figure it out with supervision. Wish me luck!
Bent needle maybe? I feel your pain! I've had non-stop problems with my machine lately to the point that I finally bit the bullet and got a new one. Expensive solution but I'm ever so happy!
