Default Am I the only one frustrated by her Tin Lizzie?

Just wondering. I am either very stupid when it comes to this machine, or the machine is a dud. I have such a problem trying to get the machine to run correctly. If the tension looks good on both sides, the thread breaks. If the thread doesn't break, the back looks awful. I did a quilt 2 weeks ago, and thought "wow, this is how it should be. I am loving this." I finished it, put another quilt on the frame, and cannot get the thread to stop breaking. I have tried all sorts of stuff. Anyone else having problems or am I just dumb?
I've had the machine set up for about a year, and it has been like this the whole time. My friend came over and played with it, and it was good for three quilts. Then back to the same old thing. I hate bugging people, and I hate having the machine get the best of me, so, no, I haven't called the company yet. But last week I emailed them - no response. Emailed them twice today.
Sorry, had to vent.
