do you think it could be because I spray basted it? does this have anything to do with it? |
When I have lots of problems with thread breakage and all the usual checks seem okay I will run a fine monofilament thread along with the problem thread for extra strenght and it always does the trick!

I've had that happen also. I did everything I could think of to solve the problem. Cleaned, changed the needle new bobbin, oiled. The one last thing I did was to put on the previous cone of thread and that did the trick. The cone of thread I was using was defective. It was a quality thread also and it has been replaced by the mfg.
