You will never beleive this -- I think I hope I have finally solved the problem. I just put the feed dogs down didn't put machine on free motion or Q foot - did put free motion foot on and that seems to have solved the problem. Something in the free motion or Q foot adjustment on the machine is where I run into trouble. I want to that all the tried to help.

Glad you were able to "fix" the problem. No, No trip Yet.
Ok.K. did you change the needle, Did you rethread? Dog feeds down. tension adjusted. The right foot attached? Did you try a different thread? When was the last try you cleaned the path of the thread. It could be that something is causing it to shred the thread. Good luck!

Size 11 Schmetz embroidery needles seem to work the best with embroidery threads. How is your thread coming off the spool? Is your spool horizontal or sitting on a cone stand?
Try the needle and reversing the way the thread comes off the spool. Sometimes the rayone and poly threads twist the wrong way and will form a very tiny knot and the thread breads when it comes through the needle.
