I got your Picture in my head from forgetting that. Lower the presser foot when sewing, but: It seems like every time I have this problem it comes from threading the machine with the needle presser foot accidentally DOWN. Easier to do with a knee lift because your tendency is to "store" the machine with the presser bar down rather than up. If the presser bar isn't up when you thread the machine, then the tension discs aren't open enough for the thread to slip between them. Edited May 20, 2019 by sewingfarmer clarity Quote
