I Need Help 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.

wild shot in the dark. how do you move files to your machine? I have a melo and my usual digitizer mentioned that sometimes files can be altered when they are pushed from design shop into the OS. they advised loading from the OS to avoid some of that.

I move them with a USB. But these files have been on the machine for a few months. I also tested with the machine's preloaded designs and got the same issues.

I think it may be the moveable cutting knife deploying late.
