Here are some things to try:
Use a 75/11 ballpoint needle (don't use sharps on polyester)
NEVER use Silicone on your thread or needle. Your thread passes through the eye
of the needle 40 times before it is laid onto the fabric. Our machines run
without the use of the tension dials because of the tension bar (actually
because of vibration). Any Silicone in the thread path will decrease the
sensitivity of the thread against the bar and confuse the machine as how much
thread to feed so you will get false thread breaks or thread breaks. Frays can
be because of:
1. burrs on the needles, in the eye of the needle, or anywhere such as on the
support finger in the rotary hook area
2. orientation of the needle - never turned to the left. In straight or 5 to
10 degrees to the right.
Try using Solvy on top of the fabric
Try floating a piece of waxed paper underneath. The heat from friction is just
enough to melt the wax onto the needle.
Check for any little pieces of thread that may be behind any of the rollers, in
the bobbin area or under the leaf spring of your bobbin. Run the corner of a
piece of paper under the leaf spring to clean it good.
Be very careful using sticky backing or spray. We have seen it work its way up
the needlebars along with lint and literally freeze the bars to the point we
have to break them loose with force. These are just a few things to check...
