Caroline, I woud bet it is old thread. I have some old thread (quite a collection of it actually from when I did embroidery as a small business years ago) and every time I try to use it, especially a specific brand which I won't mention on here, it shreds - and if I change to a newer spool of thread, I have no problem.
