I was having the same trouble with my little Viking Daisy when I was sewing fleece.

Called the shop and they said that since it was stretchy material I should use a stretch needle. I had never heard of such a thing but ordered a few to try. Will let you know if they work. They also said thread could be old but I pulled on it by itself and I could not break it. I think the needle is the problem. Perhaps others have more suggestions.
