Check the threading of your top thread. Change the needle. The bobbin might be in backwards

Is the bobbin placed in the correct way ? Also check needle is in inserted correctly with flat back of the headfirst needle towards the back of the needle housing unit and it’s up to the highest position possible - change to the correct size and type of needle for your project your doing - makes a big difference - check top tension is correct. Usually for most everyday threads used for making seams should be on the number 4 or auto depending on machine type

Please check with your dealer!!!! Oiling a machine is normal maintenance. You should oil parts that are easily accessible. As a sewist since 1987 and a quilter since 1990, I shuddered.

I was going to use WD-40 until a man told me that would collect more lint and dust eventually ruin the machine. Then I was also told 3 in 1 oil wasn't good either because it's too thick. That's why there's oil made just for machines!

Never use DW40 oil, you can ruin your machine, you only want "white machine oil"- but check your machine company or dealer 🤗

WD 40 is a penetrant. It’s meant to un stick stuff, not oil. On mechanical,domestic machines, use sewing machine oil not lubricant or grease. Moving metal parts get oil (regularly) and gears get greased(not often). Leave the gear greasing to the pros. Dust then oil your machine regularly!
