    Did you take off your throat plate so you could get all down under there? If you haven't, try that...it could just be a bunch of lint that you can't see unless you take that off.

    I had a similar problem, and when I took the throat plate off found a gigantic dust bunny. That solved my problem.

    My bobbin case had a burr in it from a needle hitting it. It was plastic. We filed it is smooth and that worked for a while but ended up replacing it.

    I keep at my sewing desk an inexpensive set of cosmetic brushes.
    Boy do those things find lint and furballs. (and I don't have a cat)

    I found a hole in the bobbin case it is plastic so I went and ordered another one won't be in until next Thursday. I will see if that is the problem if not then I will take my sewing machine in and have it checked out. I was so close to finishing my second quilt. I guess I will get my yarn out and work on my afghan I have been putting off. Once again thanks for all your help.
