I have been having problems with my sewing machine. When the problem occurs it will stitch fine for anywhere from an inch to a foot and then it will make a kind of banging noise and get stuck. The first time it happened I oiled everything well and changed the needle abd it worked fine. That was a month or so ago, and it just happened again. I oiled the machine and cleaned around the bobbin and replaced the needle and it is still doing it. My machine has a drop in bobbin and when I ran the machine without a bobin thread the top thread got tangled.
I don't know what other information would help. If I had the money I woul take it to a sewing machine shop, but I am really broke (and the local sewing and vac is really unreliable). Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated
