Some days you cant win, Do not give up on all your machines, If a machine keeps breaking thread, it ususally is the tension, the wrong size needle, or it needs a really good cleaning. 2 days ago I was trying tofinish something on my vintage 401, it just kept jamming thread in the bobbin case, I cleaned it no help, long story short after about an hour, I realized I had put a newly wound bobbin in the machine on a NEW bobbin, guess what that bobbin does the same in another 401 that I own, so it went in the trash, and another older bobbin went in the machine and it works just like it always does.

Good advice, just walk away and rest. Do something else. Come back to your machines when you feel better. Things usually go better when we are feeling better.

We have and will continue to have days like the one you had today. Take a break, have a cup of coffee, pick up a magazine , go outside and get some fresh air, get in the car and shop, just get away from the machines. It will be better tomorrow.
