Start with a new needle (and it feels ok), after sewing maybe 5000 stitches you can start to feel it not be smooth. Keep going, then by 20,000 stitches the needle feels extremely rough and of course, thread breaks/frays are occuring. What do I need to check as to what may be causing the needle to do this? Oh, have tried this on 3 needle positions.
