I always check the simple things first in the event of a mystery snangle. So, check if the threading is correct. Is the needle all the way in? Is there lint built up in the bobbin area?
In your particular case, If I had to guess, I would guess that either your upper thread tension is too loose, (like the thread came out from between the tension discs) or the bobbin tension is too tight, maybe something is goofy with the way you put the bobbin in, or wound it.
You probably have it figured out by now anyways! Good luck.


I try my level best to answer your question.if you got little bit information please rate my answer.
Thank you so much
