1
Bobbin Problems
Use bobbins made specifically for your machine and make sure your bobbin thread is wound tight and no loose threads are hanging. Clean the bobbin area frequently. Refer to manual for instructions.
2
Needle Issues
Use the right needle for your project and change your needle every 3 to 4 hours of sewing or after every other project. The needle is the major culprit for most sewing problems.
3
Fabric Not Feeding Properly
Keep your machine covered when not using it. Household dust, lint and pet hair can enter your machine in one of it's many openings causing all types of problems. Keep your machine away from direct sunlight, high/low temperatures and humidity.
4
Machine Not Running
Do not use canned air on your machine or blow into your machine. The lint is just being pushed further into the machine and you are spraying moisture into your machine which can cause corrosion or damage your circuit boards

Machine Making Odd Noises
Keep your machine covered when not using it. Household dust, lint and pet hair can enter your machine in one of it's many openings causing all types of problems.

Use good quality thread.

Thread Bunching or Bird-Nesting
DO NOT SEW OVER PINS! Your needle may break, you could damage the hook or pieces of the needle could fly up into your face
