This will occur when you have started sewing with the presser foot still in the upright position. The feed dogs cannot pull the fabric through the machine without the foot down on top of them, and the thread is jamming around the fabric, making a big mess.

Solution: The feed dogs need the presser foot to be on top of the fabric, holding it in place so it can be pulled through the machine. Simply unclog your jam, remove any excess threads on the fabric and inside the machine, and start again.

Mine did the exact same thing yesterday. I had to take it apart again and really look hard for any little snippet of thread that might be in there and I found it! These machines are very sensitive to snippets - even less than 1/16 of an inch long! My motivation for re-cleaning is that $100+ charge for the shop to take it for repair and then to hear "All it needed was a good cleaning".
