Gotta vent

I just need to vent. I'm working on a machine embroidered sweatshirt for my BFF. Everything was going well until I changed the thread color - brown Aurafil. Which I've used in the past. My machine then throws the alarm about stuff being stuck? Needle bowed? So I tear everything down - found a top thread in the bobbin case. I cleaned it out. I changed the needle. All of this taking place in a tight spot since these machine manufacturers now have the throat & needle area so flipping tight & smaller. Finally got everything put back together - only to get the same alarm....Give me my 33 year old Viking, or my 48 year old mechanical Kenmore any day over my POS Babylock Aventura. 🤨
