Ive got the Queen Quilter 18 which is the step-sister of the Tin Lizzie. My thread was also breaking constantly. As a last resort, prior to tossing the machine into the pool, I took a piece of dental floss and threaded my needle. I pulled up both ends of the floss nice and high while I screwed tight the needle in place. Shazam! All is well now. I go see the dentist tomorrow, but I don't think I'm gonna tell him how I actually use my dental floss.
