could be the needle. If all else fails, you could always email Bob at Superior Threads, he's awesome. Also on their website they have a fabulous chart for their threads, with ideal needle size and tensions. Good Luck

I practiced on some remnant fabrics and readjusted the tension a bit to satisfaction. Then I went to work on the first throw. I sewed about 8 inches and it looked great....but then it started looping and made quite a mess. I thought the thread may have 'jumped the track' as it progressed...so I ripped out the 'bad threads', rethreaded the machine, and started again with the same disappointing results. I am now ripping out again. Anyone else have experience with Superior Brytes who can offer instruction, suggestions, or condolences????
