Well since we still have not heard anything regarding my husbands tests I decided to do some fsl angels....The first one turned out great. It was a pocket angel from Linda G. Since then every one has had trouble with thread shredding and breakage. I used a new 70 needle , fresh bobbin, and slowed the speed of my machine. Please help!
At least my husband has had a full 2 days without fevers! Yay! We are both on a new diet...it is called the worry diet, you don't eat and you don't sleep, and yes you lose weight!!
Thanks and many hugs, Nadyne

Check your bobbin race for a nick. Check your thread tension -- make sure the thread path is free from bits of thread.
Good luck and prayers for you and yours!

Are you using embroidery needles? The eye is a bit larger, letting the thread pass through with less friction. FSL makes for the thread passing through the same spot several times.

Yes I used an embroidery Schmetz 70/11.

Don't think the Worry Diet will be a best seller. Hope life is better soon.
As for the angels. I have stitched 50 (for Christmas Cards) of Linda G.'s angels with nary a hitch. The possible solutions have already been covered.

Hoping all went well with your appointment. Needles seem to shred thread for me a lot - so putting in a new needle is the first thing I do when this happens - 99% of the time it is the issue (then I go to rethread, clean the bobbin case, check for nicks - all the things other cuties have shared).
