The fleece blanket got me thinking...some fleece is great stuff, other fleece is just chock full of lint and crap... so if you find your bobbin area is full of the stuff...then your problem may be solved by cleaning out between every couple of garments. The lint gets into everything, including the bobbin case...and as my first post mentions, can screw up the tension. Ball of lint gets into the case, tightens up the thread...sewing goes nuts...then suddenly that ball of lint pops through, now the bobbin runs fine while you tear your hair out! Good luck... =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
