Thank you QuiltE! Yes, I can, mostly. I did need to change the thread to completely eliminate the breakage. Here's the problem: I can't learn to quilt on a bigger quilt without actually quilting a bigger quilt. The seams on the quilt also create an issue for me. The machine chokes a bit and it throws my line off and sometimes breaks the thread. The learning curve on this is tough. On ward and upward!
