I also keepmy dogfeeds up and that hasreally made a difference. I also nolonger cover them up. I have the best luck with gutterman thread not breaking. You also may want to try a larger needle.

My ultimate solution to this problem was to buy a Sweet 16 sit down machine. Not a cheap solution but a solution none the less.
Maybe try with your feed dogs up. Sounds like you've tried everything else. Good luck, and I'll share that glass of whine (I mean wine LOL) with you.
