We don't mean change the thread; change how it is setting. If it is lying down then stand it up even if that means sitting it on the table in a cup or something to hold it. What type of needle are you using? Embroidery needles naturally have a larger hole but then sometimes they don't work. Like when I had to use the sharps. You have speciality thread it may need a little extra care. Have you tried also slowing it down and you can also double your stabilizer. You can do that just by using scraps and spraying with adhesive and applying it. I only do this when the thread breaks and my stablizer tears then I strenghten it. Let us know if we can throw some other ideas your way if this doesn't help. Good luck
