thread breaking
#2
Is it a thicker, quilting thread, ie a 40 wt or thicker? If so, are you using a bigger needle? Either an 80/12 or even a 90/14 for a really thick thread. A thick thread through a smaller needle will wear through and break.

also, my mom told me that if your needle has been used alot, the needle will get little burs on it from your thread sliding next to it so much, that will snap your thread as your sewing.... hopefully that made since.

One problem I've discovered when my thread breaks repeatedly it is usually because I've had a 'lead foot' and tried to go too fast and then when I stop the thread goes back around the spool spindle, which of course causes the thread to break shortly after you start the next seam.
