Thread Jamming

After just a few stitches, the thread jams under the bobbin case and wraps itself around the bobbin. To release it I have to cut the thread where I can find it, and then pull up the material with the thread in knots. It worked wonderfully on a previous project with exactly the same material. I've changed the needle, rethreaded the machine. There is something under the bobbincase that simply catches the thread. I have and AMbition 1.0 new machine, 2013 model.

I had the same issue and took it back to the dealer for repairs. They unjammed the machine and now works like a charm. This was all under warranty.
