Thanks for the tips. I tried a new needle and it goes fine and then like clockwork gets stuffed up again. It's killing me too cause I'm almost finished and only have two spools of this thread left and my bff is coming soon to get it and I don't have enough time to order more and arggggg.
I blame the thread.

the oil did it. Thanks so much. Much better now. I had been meaning to do it, really, I bought the oil and everything.

You're going along fine and them blamo. It's like the needle is shredding the thread? Is this a tension problem? bobbin, presser foot or thread tension? lower, higher? gahh. I'm covered in thread. And it's glow in the dark so it looks like I've been butchering glow worms.
I'm almost finished with this darn thing and my machine keeps tripping up. Anyone have any clue? Pictures attached.

Looks like your problem is solved, but I just wanted to add my 2 cents for whatever it may be worth. I have found that my Pfaff does not like Coats & Clark thread. I've heard other Pfaff owners say the same thing. I donated all my C&C spools to my quilt guild's recycle shop, switched over to either Gutterman, YLI, or signature thread and have had no more headaches r/t shredded thread.
