So I have new thread - I changed my needle - the tension seems ok - but my thread is still breaking... I just told my husband throw my machine away - I am not sewing anymore! Of course that is not true...but that's how I feel right now. He asked what was different - basically nothing - I lower the feed dogs - the needle still just goes up and down...I just can't figure it out. I know it has to be something with my needle. The new thread comes through the machine ok - but after it goes through the needle it seems be kind of like how ribbon is when you pull it to make it curly on a knife or something sharp. The thread is kind of loopy....

Then I thought maybe a different needle - so I put the "orange" one in that came with the machine and it would not work with the threader which made me think that it was not in right.

That was when I cut the thread and pushed the machine away like a sassy dog.

UGGGGGG.....
