I was sewing my teapots out and on one machine I started noticing

bobbin thread coming up in the satin stitch...I removed my thread,
cleaned the bobbin, re-threaded....it was still happening....I
repeated the process again and still my bobbin was coomming to the
top. I noticed that when I pulled the bobbin thread it did not pull
evenly and smoothly. I have a box of pre wound bobbin in plastic
casing. I took out the bobbin and there was a burr on the side that
kept catching on the case just enough to mess up the stitching. I took
a nail file and filed it down, replaced it in the case and the
stitching was good again. So if you get this problem, check your
bobbin...it may be hanging up just a tad....

Today in a satin stitch every so often there were a couple of loose stitches. So I rethreaded, did not help. Adjusted the tension, no luck there. Then I looked at the bobbin, pre wound with paper casings and a plastic axle. So I removed the paper parts and lo and behold, after readjusting the upper tension, nice stitches again. So, you're right, it maybe a slight burr. Flower for you.

I don't use them the pre-wound either lbrow, but the plastic bobbins that I use and also the throat plate have had to be sanded down a few times...always great to pass on tips that we pick up to our fellow cutes...
