...when it does looks like fringe? I have a Brother ES 2000- never had any issues before this. It won't pick up thread from bobbin and when it does, its looks like fringe underneath-lot's of bunche dup thread. It has also started to make a rhythmic thud like noise, like the bobbbin case is turning over or something. I cleaned it and rethreaded everything, still having problem. What could be wrong?
