I feel your pain. I am going through that right now. It finally did the FMQ and now I am having thread breaking while using the walking foot to sew on the binding. I tried everything above too. Sometimes I guess it just happens. Will wait to see if someone has the magic answer.

I tried practicing on a block of muslin, poly batting and no thread breaking. It is either the cotton batting or the white background material, not sure of it's contents. Confession time, lol. The thread ravels and then breaks if that makes sense. I have tried cotton and poly/cotton thread.
