    Try leaving a leader/ender in place. It will keep the thread from coming out of the needle. Plus you can start another project at the same time.

    Okay, lets back up just a wee bit. I was having something similar on my machine a week or more ago. Terrible clunking noise and the top thread was looping terribly. Took it in for service. The problem? Lint in the bobbin case tension plates. Not visible - but the repair person knew how to take it apart - and the stuff she saved for me was quite a lot. A LARGE fluff piece (compressed though).

    You may have to give in and have someone who is brave enough to take that bobbin case apart . . .

    Shortly after I got Matilda, I had thread breakage problems. I called the shop I bought her from because she is not something that can be transported easily. They told me it was more than likely a small bur down in the bobbin area and to run my finger around down there and I'd probably feel it. Sure enough, I felt it. They said to take a piece of fine grade sandpaper to it and it would be fixed, so that's what I did, and sure enough, it was fixed!!
