You are located where it is cold and the room may be very dry due to heat. Believe me, humidity can play a big part in thread breaks. When you cut your thread, does it kind of fluff at the end--or unravel? If so, you have low humidity. If you are located in a room that a portable humidifier will work, I definitely suggest the use of one.
