Barbara,
    Is your needle plate centered with the needle?  Is there any "play" in
the needle case?  Do you know how to inspect your hook timing?  Any possible
play in the hoop area - hoop arms or fabric flagging?

  Hi to All and Happy Holidays!

  I need help!  I am attempting to sew on a jacket and am having the most
unbelievable time.  The jacket is a nylon wind breaker type material....just
sewing letters...luckily, I have an old jacket of the same material to test
on.  I have had thread break after thread break and two needles broke as
well.  Bent the "you know what" out of the needles!  I cannot figure out
what the problem is!  I first tried with a full block font,  to the point of
the "default" column width and a 4.5 density.  The smallest of the letter
size to be .40........but I don't really think it has anything to do with
the font.  What is odd is the way the needle is breaking.  Like it is
hitting something hard, but the material is so thin and I am using a
cut-a-way backing.

  Any thoughts?
