I would try a size 90/14 top stitch needle. It may be something as simple as a burr on the needle you are using, and all you need to do is change the needle. Some types of thread tell you what size needle to use right on the top of the spool. If not, you could check the web site for information. That's all I've got ....good luck.
Just checked the web site and this is what they say:[TABLE="width: 100%"]

King Tut quilting thread is a #40/3 extra-long staple Egyptian-grown cotton. King Tut quilting thread has very low lint and is extra strong. Each cone has 2,000 yards. King Tut quilting thread is also available on 500 yard spools.
For home machines, we recommend using a Superior Topstitch #90/14 needle and setting your tension around a 3.0 or 4.0.
