Default Desperate--Monopoly thread keeps breaking

I'm having trouble with Superior's Monopoly clear thread breaking while I'm trying to quilt a small wallhanging. I'm using Superior's recommended 70/10 topstitch needle and tension of 2. I tested on a scrap sandwich and all was OK. Now I'm trying to quilt the piece and it sews fine for a few inches and then breaks again. Needle has been rethreaded numerous times. Bobbin has been taken out and replaced. Bobbin thread is Aurifil 100% rayon. Would that make a difference? I've tried both with a spool sleeve and without. I am getting so frustrated! Anyone have any ideas what else I can try?

I'm not FMQ, but doing straightline quilting with a walking foot.

I sure hope someone can help. It should not be taking me this long to quilt it!
