Advice on thread breaking
#31
Top tension may be too tight. When quilting on a frame, tension needs to be looser than with a domestic. Go down a whole turn of tension knob, and try again. Also, be sure foot ( if adjustable on your model) is low enough, and lastly , make sure quilt sandwich is not drum tight and takeup bar's not too high.

My Tin Lizzie loves Glide thread, too. Be certain your needle is in the correct position -- a bit off center works for me. Like PP, I skip one of the threading holes. Good luck! I know how frustrating this can be, but you've gotten some great information by our fabulous QB members, their personal methods and watching videos.
