Oh trupeach, I love you. I wasn't about to admit I'm still breaking needles like they were free. It was going to be my little secret. LOL My prob. is still with FMQ though. I don't understand why you're breaking them with your walking foot but I sure feel your frustration.

The girls on here solved my prob. the other time since I was sewing through too many layers. I think my prob. now must be my tension. I mean MY body tension. I must move my fabric too fast & chg. directions too quickly. It causes the needle to bend breaking it. Over & over & over. Grrrrrr. I want to learn this so much but am getting very frustrated.
