Debbie, Make sure that your needle is in the right way (front in the front) and also make sure the needle isn't turned to the right or the left, they should be almost straight. Try this and if it doesn't work let me know.

The threads actually shreds. I have worked my way down the list in the manuel over and over again including changing needles and being sure my needle is appropriate for the fabric. Help?
