:) Did you remember to raise the presser foot before you started to thread the machine?

Looping or bunching on on the bottom is a result of problems with the TOP TENSION. Rethread the upper thread and adjust tension. Try again.

it sounds like the machine needs to be serviced at a sewing machine shop

Kim, there is nothing you can do yourself if the timing is out. But you can check it.- Remove the needle plate and insert a brand new needle.- Turn on the machine and put it into straight stitch in the center needle position.- Turn the hand-wheel forwards until the needle is bottom dead center.- Turn the hand-wheel forwards until the needle raises 2.2mm from bottom dead center.- The Hook on the shuttle should now be directly behind the needle.- If the hook is past, or not yet to the needle, the shuttle is out of time.

check your needle. Make sure it is the correct size, is fully inserted into the needle bar and is correctly oriented. Also make sure it's not bend or otherwise damaged. Other than that you'll need to check the timing.

sounds like something may have broke or come loose,, I'd take the machine to someone else to have it checked to see what the poping sound was

have you tried changing the needle?have you tried turning the bobbin the opposite way?

it's possible that it's a mechanical or electronic problem or something has worn or is loose, it needs to be serviced

sounds like the feeddogs or the feeddog lever needs to be replacedif you want parts trysewingpartsonline.compremiersewing.com

Mine stopped working too. Gave up and wound bobbins by hand for a while until I broke down and took the machine apart -- an ordeal to figure out. I found that a pliable ring on the winder was completely disintegrated (gummy plastic-like stuff). An online search found this -- a bobbin "tire" which I THINK is the part I need: http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/bobbin-winder-tire-brother-x55238051.aspx. Hope this helps. --Also cleaned all the lint out when I had the machine opened up. They don't make it EASY!
