If you have your min setting at 6 and your setting should be at say a 3 due to the fabric/backing being thin, then you will be feeding too much thread which, for me, has been the cause of thread and/or bobbin breaks. Likewise, I have seen the autofeed jump up to a 25 or higher and sit there. So by checking the max feed setting (making sure it is in a reasonable zone for the fabric) can also keep from getting thread/bobbin breaks from too much feed. Occassionally, I go to the standard mode to check the system's recommended setting for a particular fabric. From there, I go into settings and adjust my min settings 1 or 2 lower than the recommended setting and 5 or 6 higher than the recommended for the max setting (assuming there are no seams to sew over). And before stitching, I resume the auto mode. Hope this helps.
