Threading is pretty much like you see it. I found the problem to be the thread that you get with the bobbins. It is poor quality so it jams and breaks the thread and poss. needle. Change the thread and see what happens. I was having the same problems with my machine right out of the box and after changing the thread and tweeking the tention it worked absolutly great! I love it!
