31.7.13 Did this ever happen to somebody else? I stitched through the bobbin-case plastic cover. Have stitched and heard a not so nice sound but the machine did not stop. Although I rushed there and stopped it. When I took the hoop out of the machine there was something hard between the stabilizer and the fabric. You cannot imagine my surprise when I tear off the stabilizer and the plastic plate was stitch at the bottom of the embroidery. Have cut away the bobbin threads and it has now 3 holes but fits still on his place. Love my brother-machine :o)

Mine did something similar..nicked the plate...somehow system was off.and the needle was out of wack...had to get a new plate (ouch)..but all is good and its working for me fine.

I think you have been extremely lucky not to have done more damage. Sarah.

Yes and I've learned never to think: Such a thing doesn't exist. There is always a first time ;o)

yikes good thing you were quick enough to stop who knows what kind of damage it could have done otherwise. good save, hugs Loralye

Something close happened to me. Heard a scary sound, stopped the machine. The needle had broken and was stuck in the bobbin. Tricky to remove the hoop, since I could not lift it high enough to remove. I had to release the foot and use pliers to remove the needle. Machine was fine after that.

July 31, 2013 - WOW - that's a new one on me. I can't imagine what you were thinking when you removed the stabilizer (lol). Thanks for sharing.

Wow! That must have been a sound! I hope this does not happen to me, glad I know that it can happen. Thanks

yes it has happened on my singer machine i filed it with fine sand paper and its good as new .Never hurt anything thank goodness hugs

O my goodness! I'm so glad everything turned out ok. What a shock!

No I have never heard of this before. I hope all is well with the machine after that.

very strange indeed !!

No straight and alright. Now I really know why I never will try to add a fabric while the machine is stitching ;o)
