So...simple as it sounds, check the path from your thread spool to the needle, and make sure it's not getting hung up somewhere. It can be hard to see, so you may have to change the thread to a bright color while you examine it.
Great point!!! yes check the threading too. dechez is 1000% right that could be the issue too. ... JB
