Ditto what Miriam said about your threading problem and you certainly don't need sewers aid on a piece of velcro. The velcro itself could be contributing to your problems. Use a good quality thread and you'll be fine. The ONLY thread I use sewers aid on is metallic and even then it's applied on the spool or on the needle. Re thread your machine correctly, remove that piece of velcro and you'll be much happier with the results.
