    Welcome from OHIO! I hope your thread problems have been resolved. I don't have anything to add to the advice you've already received.

    I have a Janome and my machine shreds thread when I drop the feed dogs. I leave mine up and set the stitch length to 0. Also make sure that the quilt is supported all round and its not getting caught on the edge of your table, and slow down a bit. Good luck and welcome

    Welcome! Hope you find a hint that works for you! My suggestion would be to try straight quilting with the same thread, batting, and fabric weight as in the quilt. If the thread does not break, start FMQ slowly. Try to see whether the breaking occurs at a seam, or when moving in a particular direction, or turning, et cetera, and slow down when you are doing that.
