Default Thread keeps breaking

Hey everyone.

Im doing a quilt on my frame for a friend who has just started quilting. My thread keeps breaking. I have changed the needle twice, changed the bobbin, a.d changed the tension. Ive even rethreaded the machine several times. Ive used this thread on one other quilt in the past.

My questions....
While during the piecing process, could the thread that is cut off too long cause a problem? Im thinking that maybe the needle could be trying to pick up that thread?????

Could the fabric that is pieced, the really bad fraying be picked up by the needle???? There is a LOT of frays in the back....

Could it be the seams that maybe werent ironed flat enough????

Im at my wits end!!! I dont know what else to try. Any sugestionwould greatly be appreciated.

Wendy
