I've had this happen with a bobbin that didn't have the thread wound tightly against the top barrier of the thread area. I normally put my hitch on the wound thread. The hitch often works it's way to the top barrier. If it finds smooth wood instead of threads, it doesn't have the traction of threads holding the hitch. This usually happens with a bobbin that's not full. I try to fix it by pushing the threads upwards on the bobbin, under the hitch.
One bobbin might have a smoother finish than others and this may affect how the thread stays in place. I hope you figure out something that helps. Alice in Oregon ....being pushed out of my house tomorrow while a new bathroom and kitchen are being done. It will be about 2 weeks before we can move back in (bathroom being done first) and then enduring the mess until the kitchen is done. Looking forward to the finished products, but not the mess and dirt... or unpacking all those boxes. Meanwhile we're camping in the empty house next door. Many thanks to the owner for letting us stay there so we can keep an eye on the project. We'll be eating out for the next six weeks.
