Instead, respond to the thread on the WEBSITE by clicking here: http://www.amayausers.com/boards/ultimatebb.php?/topic/2/687/2.html#000019 Start by removing the bobbin and sliding a business card corner under the metal 'tension' bar to make sure there isn't lint under there. Check INSIDE the bobbin holder for lint and stuff, clean out everything inside it. Put the bobbin back in correctly, and feed the thread through the slot but NOT into the pigtail. Now hold the thread between thumb and finger and lift up...if the bobbin doesn't move-the tension is too tight. If it starts unrolling, too lose. What you want it just enough tension that when you 'jiggle' your thumb and finger a little bit-the bobbin unwinds a little but stops...jiggle again, it unrolls...you don't want it lose enough to continue unwinding by itself. Now wrap it around the pigtail and install it...and make sure your THREAD is properly fed through the entire 'path' up and down and around the front of the machine. Now you have eliminated one possible problem.
