dbams Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 What machine, what kind of thread? Is this a new spool of thread? Have you tried thread conditioner on it? How does your tension look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningThreads Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 If I remember correctly Leigh has a Millie. Take a good look at your pigtails, they do get a groove worn into them over time. Short term fix is to turn them upside down until you get new ones.

RunningThreads Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 You have probably already checked the check spring for a groove also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limds Pittsonberger Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 I have a 2017 Freddie. My top thread is breaking no matter what I do. I’m just trying to FMQ on a Muslim practice sandwich. I’ve threaded and retreaded, loosened my tension. What else can I do? Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srichardson Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 I would check for burrs along the thread path. Also try a different cone of thread. Have you tried the suggestions mentioned earlier in this post? Hope that you are able to find the problem. Welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
