Breaking Thread
Does anyone know how to hydrate thread? I'm sure that it is too dry and that's why it keeps breaking. I have put in a new needle and that doesn't help. I use my embroidery machine to make labels for my quilt. I have quite a bit of thread and most of it I have had for quite some time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Fredda

Sewers Aid is a silicone lubricant that I use when I FMQ on my domestic machine. It might work.

Understandable! I have a friend who had a bad cone, she tried different needle, different tensions, different fabrics, even a different machine, and nothing worked. She figured she had nothing to lose, dipped her cone in the mineral oil and it worked for her. She showed our quilt group her project; there were no stains or marks from the oil at all. Her experience is why I feel free to recommend this.
