Don't feel bad & blush. This grp. saved my skin awhile back when I was breaking needles left & right. I would blush if I could confess as to how many I broke.
First about thread, I've learned that Coats & Clark thread shreads very easily so I try to use a better quality thread.
` For needles, I am now using stronger needles & quilt needles. Seemed to fix my prob. I am so grateful for the knowledge from this grp.
