My daughter just finally unboxed the new Brother XL 2230 machine that she bought a few years ago. She thought she should fill a bobbin first and when she started filling it, the machine was going great but when she stopped to cut the thread she used to start the bobbin, the machine acted funny when she started up again.
The bobbin is acting like it is struggling to fill, the machine motor screams (really high pitched!) and it seems that the foot pedal is cutting in and out.
I had her replug in the foot pedal, check the route of the thread from the spool to the bobbin. I nearly told her to take a shoe and slap it upside the head.
If this were an older (REALLY older) machine, I would think that the problem was in the belt area.....you know that little thingy on the wheel that you had to loosen/tighten when you filled a bobbin?
Any idea what the problem could be? She called Brother and they had no idea what the problem was and would not cover the repair, or even part of it.
