Oh no, check your bobbin. I know a lot of people who have had this problem and the whole time it was the bobbin. Seems the pre-wound ones won't work and even winding on the machine isn't good. Everyone that used the external bobbin winder has had good luck, just a suggestion before you make a long trip.
Wishing you well.

Believe me I tried everything, new bobbin, new bobbin thread, new needlesm different threads, a different race I tried everything I could possibly do except taking machine all apart. & the dealer had told me when I bought it if I took the machine all apart the warranty would not be valid. so I didn't go that far. *

Lillian, It probably needs its annual check-up. When I bought mine, I was told that you need to have them cleaned, cleaning we can't do, on a yearly basis. Hope you can get it repaired and take it back with you so you won't have to make two trips.

Oh Lillian, I had mine in the shop just this last week - I had a very hard time without it - they did not have a loaner, either. Please let us know what they do for shredding thread - OK?

I took a long hard at the new Elissimo shirlener but he wanted $4,500.00 plus my machine as a trade in. He's selling it for $8.000.00. I'd already asked around & others r asking $9.000,00 for it. Way out of my league. *

I know how you feel I just got my machine back fro me shop yesterday. One thing they told me that there was lots of lint in there, even thou I try to clean it all the time and that is from the vilene.You been doing lots of TP and that could be part of the problem too.This machines are so delicate. I hope you get it back real soon.*****

I am so sorry about that. My Bernina did that for a while. It had a 'burr' and it was fixed by gently rubbing a fine sand paper in the bobbing case area, and places where the thread goes through. I hope they return return yours to you promptly.

I have a Bernina. Don't let my baby hear you mention "burr". Might be contagious!!

Lillian, hope they can fix it while you wait. My dealer has 2 locations and the repair guy is in one store one day and in the other store another day. I always call first. I'm glad you. I always take in the item that was giving me a problem. It helps when they see it. Good luck sweetie!!!!

I'll get it back Sat. thanks katy. I started with a Bernina but never could get anything done with it so traded it n on the Babylock Ellegante 1, then traded that n on this babylock ellegant 2, I bought the bernina off ebay & that's a mistake when u get no manuals with it & the cd player that came with it didn't work, later found they had all been recalled & replaced by Bernina. I
m really happy with what I have now so I guess that's all that matters. *
