In total exasperation, I finally grabbed the spare bobbin case I had picked up a couple of weeks ago. It's been stitching fine ever since....

Funny, I'm still using the original bobbin case in the machine that's 2 years old, the one I replaced was in the newer machine that's just about a year old. Go figure...

Time to order 2 spares just in case...

I've been using the Coats bobbins for 2 years now. Every time I try to switch to a different bobbin (including the Fil Tecs), it just doesn't stitch right on our PR600's.
