If all the threads look slightly frayed, then that may suggest a burr / rough 
spot on your rotary hook or perhaps thread which is getting overly dry.

Run the tip of your finger nail or a q-tip over the rotary hook to check for 
rough spots. 

If you think your threads are getting dry, as a quick fix you can put them in 
the freezer overnight. As a more permanent solution, invest in a humidifier to 
raise the humidity in the room where you keep your thread.

  Everyone,
  I notice that when I get done sewing a design, that the thread has a tendency 
to look frayed on the top when I am trimming some threads.  I use ARC threads.  
All colors look this way.  I keep all threads out of light.  Actually they are 
kept in a cupboard until they are on the machine.
  I change needles frequently!
  What is causing this??

  Thanks for your help!
