[QUOTE=Kani;6383281]I am ready to pull my hair out. Seriously.
I have a Juki sewing machine on a Grace frame that I am having issues with.
It loves to break needles!
I stitched 3 rows that didn't look to bad but not the best either. The tension needed to be adjusted. I tightened it a little and now it's breaking needles. If I put it back where it was the top tension is to loose.


Go to Youtube.com and watch a video by Jamie Wallen. Best information on problems with thread tension I've ever heard. I was having problems with my quilting machine and his advice sure took care of it easily and no repairman costs!

If needles keep breakign, perhaps they are bent and/or misaligned and hitting the bobbin case or something like that.

Hope Jamie Wallen's video helps you as much as it did me.
