I had the same problem, thought it was the thread but no it was the needle. Started using a topstitch needle and problem solved. The eye is longer so not as much tension on the thread. Interesting information on the web that professional companies always use these type of needles for all sewing and quilting. You might want to try. I found them difficult to find in the stores so when I did bought a couple of packs
