I changed my needle twice making sure I was using the correct needle size recommended by Superior and rethreaded the machine twice. Still it kept breaking. Finally I decided to really loosen the tension on both top and bobbin. Turns out this thread likes almost no tension. I found that out later after going to Superiors website and reading it....

There is a Thread Reference Guide for Home Machines from Superior Threads at http://www.superiorthreads.com/media...HOME_10-10.pdf

For long arms: http://www.superiorthreads.com/media...nceLongArm.pdf

Good info, especially if you want to try out some new threads.
