Thread/FMQ troubles
#1
Why must my machine thwart my every move?
You're going along fine and them blamo. It's like the needle is shredding the thread? Is this a tension problem? bobbin, presser foot or thread tension? lower, higher? gahh. I'm covered in thread. And it's glow in the dark so it looks like I've been butchering glow worms.
I'm almost finished with this darn thing and my machine keeps tripping up. Anyone have any clue? Pictures attached.

No real answers for you ...
Though my first line of attack when I have problems is to take bobbin and spool off/out and start fresh at threading. Sometimes it's as simple as that!
By chance did you just switch to a different spool of thread?

Try with the largest needle you have and if the thread doesn't break, reduce the size of the needle a little at a time until you find the smallest needle that works well with your thread. If it still breaks, the thread is the problem. Sometimes our thread is too old and we don't know it, poor quality, or a bad batch. It happens.
