For some reason my thread has begun breaking. I have quilted (FM) with this same set-up for some time with no problems and now I am having repeated breakage. It seems as if the thread is getting thinner and thinner until it breaks and the end of the thread is lumpy. (If that makes any sense.)

I've tried re-threading the machine, adjusting the foot pressure to be a bit heavier and taking the bobbin thread in and out. I haven't changed the needle yet because this is a titanium needle and it's pretty new, although it's worked fine for hours.

When it does sew, the tension is fine top and bottom. I've tried to pin it down as to whether it breaks when I'm going in one direction or another, but it doesn't seem to have any pattern to it.

I'm using King Tut, top and bottom.

Any help appreciated.
