You may have already done this, but I would take the bobbin carrier out, remove the bobbin, make sure there isn't lint inside, and replace it and try again. If this does not help, then I would suggest you take the machine to a repairman, Barbara in SC
Put in a new needle and make sure it is in correctly flat to the left and all the way up in the clamp.
that was the problem!!!!!--thanks for your help--i was ready to give up and actually felt that some sort of gear of cam sliped and threw everything off
thaks again peter
