I went to Vac and Sew this morning and I was right. The bobbin case was scratched up and had holes in it, just like I thought. The thread kept getting caught in the bobbin and caused a bird’s nest mess, the needle would break and then scratch or punch a hole in the case. I had a similar problem with my Brother machine a few years ago. It was an easy fix, $22. for a new case as opposed to having it stay in for a spa day. Wow, the prices on that have gone up!!

Just a reminder that if your needle keeps breaking, it’s most likely that the bobbin case has needle strikes, holes or shaved off sections on it. It’s easy to check and cheaper to replace. Take it in and have it checked.

Now, I will be working on my sewing for 2 weeks while waiting for it to come in.
