Primitive1 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I have never had a problem with flannel, it could just be a tension problem with the top thread...or maybe a burr somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbams Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Jennie, the flannel is probably not the issue. Have you tried rethreading your machine entirely? When you changed your needle, part of your thread path could have gotten wonky, creating too much tension on the top thread, and causing it to break.

LibbyG Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I just quilted a queen and had no problems with So Fine on top and Bottom Line in the bobbin. In fact, the entire quilt was made from flannel. Did you maybe get a piece of lint in the bobbin case? Sometimes it's very hard to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
