I want to thank you for all your help with my mega quilter. I completely took the quilter off the frame today and started from the beginning. I set everything for first time set up. I reloaded a sample quilt to test and finally found the right tension after 3 hours, along with the thread this monster likes and a needle it will tolerate until the german needles come in (I ordered them today). I think I have everything under control for now. When I took everything apart, I found dirt and thread wrapped around the rollers which could have caused drag and could have caused the thread to break. I don't know. If the breakage continues, I will take the cruise contol off.
Thanks again for all your help.

There are some other numbers too on the packet but they don't match your numbers

You will have to go to a dealer for them. Joanns and most quilt shops don't carry them.
