I think there are several main reasons for thread breakage.
1. cheap thread
2. jerky moving in FMQ
3. wrong settings for tension and feed.
4. machine not adequately cleaned and/or oiled
5. Burr on needle, bobbin case or pressure foot.
6. Old needle
7. It wants the day off for no apparent reason.
I know I have had to deal with all of these more than once.

Does your thread break within the first couple of stitches, or can you sew a few inches or more before it breaks?
Where exactly along it's route is it breaking? Does it seem to have frayed first(and where), or is it a clean break?

I'm so happy to find someone else who has an 830. I have a call in to my dealer to see what is up with the thread breaking. I know these machines are wonderful. I love everything about it except this problem. I still don't know all there is to know, probably never will because it does so much.
