I am so frustrated! I have a Janome Memory Craft 4000 that I have been using for a long time. I have not done much FMQ but am getting lots of practice on the little kitty quilts for the shelter. I found some machine quilting thread while cleaning out sewing room, new within the last year, and thought I would use it on these little quilts. It's awful! It keeps breaking, shredding and skipping. I did not have the problem with the Gutterman but this was a little less expensive so I figured I would use it up. Maybe I'm getting what I paid for. It is Coats & Clark 100% Mercerized Cotton Size #50. Other than the brand, it is the same as the Gutterman. I've changed the needle, cleaned the bobbin chamber, threaded, rethreaded and basically covered all the bases. I have read that others have had problems with certain threads on certain machines so I have come to you first. I do have thread from Connecting Threads I could use. I'm just spending way too much time on this batch of kitty quilts because of this stupid problem. Can anyone spare some advice? I'd really appeciate it. Thanks in advance.
