I am doing my best to practice free motion quilting with my Singer Quantum Stylist 9600. I say trying because I am not doing very well! I keep reading that everyone says practice practice practice so I am doing just that!

My problem is that my thread keeps fraying. I took the end piece off the machine to try to see what is going on. I know - not good to leave the machine like that - but I have figured out that it is something in that last step of the threading of the top thread. Somewhere between the top and the hook right before the needle the thread keeps unraveling and getting "stuck" thus breaking.

I was having problems before thinking it was the thread and ordered some from Connecting Threads. I don't think that is the problem but I can't figure it out...

Any ideas?
