It is making a strange noise and not sewing neatly - skipping stitches, bending needle or gathering fabric. I have taken machine apart, re-wound bobbin, changed needles. I think the problem is the boobin bit somewhere. When I handwind it is stiff when the needle is fully down.

Hello Samantha,
If the machine is skipping stitches after you have put a new needle in then the machine may need retiming, If you email me I will attch timing instructions, type in my address as you say it below not as you see it, this site does not allow email addresses to be shown.
