Heres a quick thing to check...it was brought up last month also...
I thought of it as soon as you mentioned JACKETS...
If the jacket is hanging OFF THE TABLE, the weight of the jacket itself is
going to pull that hoop sideways while sewing-moving the needle as it goes
through the material and into the needle plate.
Voila-instant thread break or 'fray' as the needle rubs the thread against the
plate.
If your hooping is consistent, needles are new and aligned, thread is running
right, bobbin is set right, then look at the jacket. Perhaps you set one jacket
'on' the table, all the sleeves up under the needle head and not hanging-then
the next jacket maybe the sleeves drap over or the excess jacket is hanging
down in front-this weight is the culprit.
Make sure every jacket is completly supported ON the table (base), not hanging
off the edge. This is the unknown variable-the jacket is fighting back.
I do NOT recommend this-but if you ever put your finger against a hoop while
sewing you would see how little pressure it takes to move that hoop in the
process. Don't do it-you can damage stuff. BUT, with everything shut off, hoop
up a scrap of material (so you can see it) and bring the needle down to center
it, like aligning the needle plate...and then just gently push the hoop-you
will see the material move against the needle. This is what the jacket can
do-and because it is heavier material, it will PULL that needle sideways.
