Today I went to the sewing machine shop in Salem to see what is wrong with my machine. When I sew fast or sew zigzag my thread breaks a lot. So after weeks of this driving me nuts I broke down and ask the professionals. You know what they told me? Don't use thread bought from Goodwill! Lmao apparently old thread can break. Dork ;-P
I hope this is actually the problem though and not something worse. We will see I have other thread I bought from eBay that I use more but he says even that thread not the best. He suggested only using the expensive thread from sewing shops. Crap
I don't know if that is so true. They have to find someway to sell that expensive stuff ;-) I just use the Coats and Clark or Gutermann from Joann's and I have never had a problem, if you are having a problem with those it is definitely your machine. I learned the same lesson you did the hard way when I used thread from my great grandma's stash!
