When cleaning the trimmer area, be sure to remove the knife and it's carrier and clean underneath of it as it rides n top of the selector. If the selector is restricted from traveling it's full stroke, it will fail to pick up the bobbin thread and the knife will then cut the bobbin off at the top of the bobbin case leaving a "short bobbin tail".
