After going through all the usual remedies(rethread machine top and bottom, slowing it down, new needle, clean and oil machine, etc.) it was still happening so I shut the machine off and called it a day. I kept thinking about it though and it was driving me nuts. What was I missing? then I remembered something I've read about but never actually thought about it. Humidity. It's winter, the heat is on all the time and I don't have a humidifier. I put a bowl of water on both of the heat vents and closed the door over night. This morning I finished up my project without one single thread break. Christmas Calavera from Urban Threads.
