Help! I Keep Breaking My Thread!
My thread keeps breaking usually between the 1st - 4th stitch. Sometimes it will randomly break halfway through. I tested the tension on scrap of the same fabric and it will be fine one time then break the next. It's brand new thread, brand new needle, brand new machine, I'm just learning basics myself. I don't know what else to do. I'm pretty sure that I have it threaded correctly for the bobbin and the upper thread. I'm just so lost.
