Then my thread jammed inside the machine. It is out of warranty, so I took it apart to clear the jam. Plus I oiled all moving parts. It works much better now.

I have named the machine Fussy. As it constantly acts up.

My sewing machine is the Singer HD 4432. When it works it is a good machine but I shouldn't need to take it apart to clear a thread jam inside the top of the machine along the thread path.
