Tank you all for the wonderful suggestions and responses. I finally took her in to my service Guru and he found a tiny little piece of thread caught up in the tension wheel. Got that out, adjusted a little here and there and now I am nearly finished with this little quilt. I also did not have the needle seated properly so that of course was the cause of needle breakage. It seems no matter how long we have been quilting, there will come that day that nothing seems to go right. I am happy to report that day has now come and gone and I am back into getting Christmas projects finished up. Hopefully, when my daughter arrives from Fl. Wednesday, she can show me how to connect my phone to the computer so I can post pics. Thanx again to all of you wonderful gals and guys that ried to help out.
