It seems that almost every time one breaks, the bobbin thread is wrapped around the lever that you grab onto to pull it out of the bobbin case. This locks the bobbin therefore breaking the needle. Is this a problem with the bobbin case itself? Seems like it is happening with both of my bobbin cases. I just ordered 2 new ones but haven't gotten them yet. Or does this sound like another issue? It happens on any and all designs, even something as simple as an outline stitch for applique or a 1" name done in satin stitch. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
