Did you have a needle strike on metal? Are you absolutely sure that you do not have some thread piece(s) bound up in the rotary hook bobbin basket area? Did you change out the needle, is it bent, burred, etc? Have you checked your hook timing? Refer to the tech portion of the Parts and Tech CD to see how this is done. Just some thoughts....
