Can you help me with a LA question?
I'm wondering if anyone here has had the problem of their thread breaking and breaking when doing a LA project.
I loaded a quilt onto my LA and put a new needle in. The thread I was using was Superior Omni, the kind I mostly have and selected a design on the computer to do a stipple over the entire quilt. It's a full sized quilt. The thread kept shredding and breaking causing me to have to locate the spot on the design and re-start the stitching several times going across the quilt. Only one time in the entire quilt did it stitch across without breaking.
It seems like the needle's eye was causing the shredding so I adjusted the eye several times so it was perfectly straight. That didn't help at all. Has anyone ever had this happen? Any suggestions? I guess I could have just changed the needle again to see if that would help but I didn't. HELP!
I hate throwing out this cone of thread. It's not cheap to buy cones of thread for the LA these days.
