I was embroidering a turkey on a t-shirt last night when it began to act up. The turkey looked like it was molting! The threads were breaking and all looked awful. I even changed the needle. I put it all away and before I started today, I took apart the machine and gave it a thorough cleaning. Like my sister said, just one speck of dust can through the whole thing off. Today it made a nice turkey. :) And, I didn't kill the machine.

Sometimes I'll lay in bed at night after an episode like that and I'll think of all the thing it might be. The next morning I go in and check ALL of those things and usually come up with a solution. Frustration requires a "rest" period. BTW, don't know what kind of thread you are using, but I've tried some of the cheaper threads and found I have all kinds of problems with skipping and breaking. I think long arms are very picky! Mine likes King Tut on the top and Bottom Line in the bobbin. If you are using a cheap thread for your charity quilts, you might try changing and see if the breaking stops.
