Very cute! Don't even notice the bobbin problem. Are you sure it's not a tension issue with the top thread? Clean the bobbin area and look for the tiniest little teeny weeny piece of thread or lint in there. Hope you get it fixed. I hate machine problem

Have you tried rethreading bobbin and top thread as sometimes this will help with the problem.
Good Luck and hope this will help Val

Check your machine manual and see how to adjust your tension. If you don't have one then Google the make and model of your machine asking how to set the tension.
I have numerous machines and find that when the bobbin thread shows on the top of fabric, then my top thread tension needs to be adjusted. Looking at the picture closely I think you need to remove the top thread completely and re-thread. Make sure your thread goes between the 2 tension discs. I call it flossing the discs. Be sure your thread goes through each of the numbered areas. As stated below any little dust, thread fibers can knock out the tension.
Many of the newer machines do not allow you to adjust the bottom tension. But check your model I may be wrong.
Good luck

And this is why I hate automatic anything! Limits your ability to fix problems.

They look good to me! I know you know, but no one else will notice. The fabric is cute.

I know Toogie, but it's so annoying, I do tend to do a lot of white when I do satin stitch, then I know it will be ok, Jean xx
