Once the thread breaks, the machine moves about 0.2" down in the Y-Axis. If you do not catch it immediately, you ruin a garmet. There is a particular "sound/sequence" the machine makes during the thread break which may indicate the machine is going to move uncommanded. Let me try to describe the sound: 1. Normal sewing sound 2. Small hangup and 'slap' of thread results in a small ball of thread on top of the stiching (almost like it "shoots" a ball of thread through the needle 2.a - may shred thread at this point. 3. Sewing sound gets rougher 4. Slightly louder 'slap' and then break/shred. Is this what happens if the thread get caught on the rotary hook?
