Many, many thanks for all your suggestions. Since yesterday I have
1. Changed to needle from new pack
2. Changed out bobbin and bobbin from even more beloved FW
3. Sewed big and little circles both slowly and also fast
4. Changed out the throat plate from the FW
5. Switched to darning feet
6. Used 3 different brands of good thread
7. Turned flywheel by hand
8. Have an appointment with my sewing machine mechanic
9 Am dosing myself liberally with chamomile tea and considering wine for dinner
No matter what I do the THREAD SHREDS somewhere around hole
Candace and Piepatch-Your idea of a rough spot seem promising
TOMORROW I'LL GET A TOPSTITCH NEEDLE...Thanks criket_iscute...It seems to be my last hope

Is there anything else I could try?

Thanks to everybody. You are all great to help an unknown person so much. I really appreciate and Bless You
