Default thread breaks after 2-3 inches of a seam

Thanks folks for the advice. I've made sure that the spool's diagonal
cut is not in the way of the thread's flow, I'm pretty sure the top
thread flow is clear, I suspect the problem is in the bottom thread.
I'll try cleaning and oiling the bobbin casing etc. Hopefully I'll
finish the project before she grows out of it! Wish me luck. DEM.


You would also be amazed at the difference a new needle often makes. If the
needle is bent or in the machine the wrong direction, that is the flat side
needs to be where it should be for your machine, it can cause the thread to
rub against the side of the needle hole where it meets the bobbin thread and
shear.
