inside of my SIL's fleece jacket. I undid the ribbing at the back - enough so I could get inside to attach pockets.When I went to sew the ribbing back between the fleece and lining(the lining had batting attached), the machine would bunch up the thread. The machine would stop - telling me to rethread the machine, that the thread broke. I finally had to leave it messy as he was headed out the nex morn for hunting and I would fix it when he got back.

I tried changing needles and then thread.
Any other suggestions?

I have had this problem before when working with fleece/batting. Both make lots of lint!I have found that often there is a lot of lint that has accumulated in the bobbin holder. Try cleaning it out with your machine's little brush before attempting to sew the ribbing back on. Hope your SIL has better luck than my hubby has had this week with his hunting! :)
