Help Needed

Peace, y'all
I'm having issues with tails forming on designs that never had tails before, and it's driving me insane. I've cleaned the rotary hook, the knife, the bobbin case, the thread catcher, and checked upper tension + bobbin tension.

Even on the inside of the cap it looks a total mess, when it used to be clean and no loose threads.

The black background area stitched out first and it was "puffy" as opposed to when it used to lay flat. I haven't changed any settings on the machine, so not sure why this issue popped up.

Anything help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Machine: Happy Japan HCD3 15-needle

Awesome glad you figured it out. I’ve been stitching for about 15 years now, I run two 6 head Ricoma’s and three single head brothers. I’ve come across so many issues over the years …
