New to quilting but have big problems need help
Hi from Massachusetts , I am a new to quilting! I have a singer quantum stilus 9960. I am working on my first free motion quilt and I am having problems. I start to free motion and after a few seconds my thred has shredded and broke. So I took my machine a part cleaned it, polished the meddle plate and replaced the needle and tried 100% cotton thred and 100% pollyester thred. Nothing I have tried has fixed it please help

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. Things to check...make sure your quilt is all up on your table, have a zig zag plate on not a single hole plate, feed dogs down, machinger or similar gloves on, good quilt movement and speed control.

Welcome from Southern California. What thread are you using. Try staying away from the poorly made thread like C&C and serger thread. Do you have a manual?? You need to know how to adjust your top tension.
