gmadianem 0 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Figured out the thread shredding issue. Now the top thread is occasionally catching somewhere in the bobbin area and breaking. So far I have cleaned, rethreaded numerous times and adjusted the needle to 6:35, Any other suggestions before I call tomorrow? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Busy Quilting 441 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Check the hook retaining finger into the bobbin is not intoo far. The thread has to travel around the bobbin and slide between the end of the hook retaining fnger and the hook for every stitch. This is best seen by removing the needle plate and looking from above.

ffq-lar 3,609 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Check that the hook retaining finger is in the correct position. It's the metal finger that slots into place under the needle plate. It keeps the bobbin assembly from rotating. If it's in too far, the thread will be pinched and break. Make sure it's in the slot only far enough to stop the rotation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sue Petitjean 0 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Just got my Millie also and had the same problem. Types of thread require different routing. When I changed the routing through the 3 holes it worked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
