It keeps breaking the upper thread and leaves such a mess on the bottom side, so I thought maybe there was a machine issue. So I went to Wal-Mart and bought a spool of Coats and Clarke brand..no issues.. I then tried Mandeira.. no issues.. so I tried Sulky again..and issues again. Now I am hoping Joann's will do a return on all that thread. How can thread be so different??? The Sulky seems to shred.. rather then just break.
