Hi Bill. I pulled my hair out UNTIL
I learned that stabilizer/backing is NOT optional;
That the needle eye MUST FACE exactly forward, or EVER SO SLIGHTLY to the
right (like about 1 minute after 12:00);
Learning to trust the auto acti-feed instead of insisting on the manual
setting;
Learning to get that fabric thumping tight;
AND switching to a good quality poly thread.
I have had the best luck with Robison Anton thread, Organ titanium needles,
NEBs plastic sided bobbins OR Coats and Clarks cardboard-sided bobbins, and a
minimum of two-ounce cutaway backing.
Keep the bobbin case clean;
Oil the hook daily before you start;
Make certain you're not in a dry environment that causes static electricity
build up; and
Make sure the acti-feed rollers and pinch rollers are lubed and clean and
groove-free.
As long as I do all of the above, I have no problems. As soon as the hook
starts to get the tiniest bit dry -- snap, pop, thread break!
