Twinsmom,
It may be your thread feeder gear as previously mentioned. 
It can also be a whole bunch of other, possibly simpler problems.
For starters,I've noticed a recurring issue with bobblins. they are 
occasionally over wound and requires that you remove about 10 or 15 feet(No 
John Y, I didn't measure it! :) 
Upper Thread,is the tube sticking out of the top of the spool at least an inch? 
More would be better.
Is the upper thread "bruised?
How about the software? If you are running in the auto mode do you have your 
Auto feed lower limit set high enough for the fabric and backing thickness?
If all the above check out then you may have a cracked feeder gear. 
I don't regularly disagree with other techs suggestions but I would certainly 
not recommend removing the thread feeder pcb to replace the gear.It has no 
affect on the removal or installation of the gear.

I do agree with the recommendation of ordering the special tool to remove the 
gear shaftas well as ordering 2 or more of PART #10454-03 this is the retaining 
clip, and can be lost bent out of shape when removing and installing it. 

I purchased my e-clip tool at Sears. Bring the part with you to the store and 
I'm sure you will find the right pair.

If you have any questions , Feel free to call me. I'll be happy to help.
