I am not sure why this is happening..my thread keeps breaking in the middle of my free motion quilting..this is my first quilt and I have never even used a sewing maching before..all seems to be going well so far but I tried to put some decorative thread in the quilt (sulky rayon) just because I found it to be the prettiest!! :) I think I'm using the right size needle..which is a 90/14..using some sewers aid and all that...so not sure what is going on..almost done with the stippling..so it has become very frustrating!!
