I would just like to know why long arm machines are temperamental just like toddlers??? And why is it that after I promised to never make "him" have to use a particular thread ever again the thread stopped breaking? Seriously, it didn't break even one more time. I think my machine is possessed! I think he might actually be a she and maybe it's her time of the month. Some days everything works like a charm and some days I want to jump up and down and throw a fit! Today was one of the jump up and down and throw a fit days...can you tell?

It's usually my tracks that are dusty or my wheels that have something caught in them that causes me problems, though it seems like a thread or tension issue most of the time. Clean everything with a barely damp alcohol pad and see if things are better. That's the first thing I try now when mine starts acting up and it usually solves the problem. It's the same with my Domestic machine...usually dust bunnies caught in the bobbin area.
