Could possibly be a "burr" on the one of the areas the thread runs through?
like mentioned above, larger needle eye, catching on the spool, tension. is the thread "old"?
what machine are you using? maybe someone here has the same machine and can give you some tips..

Leah Day's blog has an article on thread tension at http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.c...-tangles.html. Check out her 365 days quilt designs--she has made me think outside the box for free motion quilting. I used to just look through pattern books--now I don't have to do that. It is much more fun not always having to trace the patterns onto paper and then tear it off the quilt.
