If it's down when you thread, you'll definitely run into tension issues. <br />2) Is the size of the needle correct for your thread? I usually quilt with King Tut 40 wt. thread, using a size 14 microtex sharp needle.<br />3) Have you completely opened up the bobbin area and cleaned it thoroughly, oiling all the parts that the manual directs you to?<br />4) Have you "flossed" the upper tension disks to make sure no thread pieces or lint globs are stuck in there?<br />5) Is the thread coming off your spool too quickly and wrapping around the spindle? Make sure you have the spool positioned correctly (horizontally or vertically) for the way the thread is wrapped on the spool.<br />6) Does your machine have any burrs on the various thread guides that may be gnawing your thread?<br />Can you tell I have had this thread breaking issue myself many times?!!

Thread seems to be the biggest thing with me, oh and I was threading my machine wrong for years! That could be contributing to it.
