I'm also having problems with it just stopping in the middle of sewing while I still have the presser foot engaged. I've even had it doing the opposite as well. It will sometimes continue sewing when I lift my foot off the presser foot. I fear the folks at this repair shop don't know how to fix it. If any of you have experienced any of this and it has been repaired. Maybe you could let me know what the problem was that caused the malfunctioning.

I'm frustrated because all they're doing is replacing the bobbin case and retainer rather than trying to figure out what's causing the problem.

I have the 11000 updated to the 11000se and I haven't had any of those problems. As far as the bobbin and thread problems I'm wondering if your machine is out of timing or maybe theres some thread in you bobbin case tension. I would have someone check it out asap because of all the problems but mainly you don't want it to keep sewing after you take you foot off the pressure foot. I've sewed my finger a few times and I'm telling you...IT HURTS!
