I had the same problem with this thread. I have a Pfaff. Maybe the thread is made for the Bernina machines? I gave all my thread to a friend who has a Bernina. Oh...... My Gammill hated this thread.

I had the same problem with this thread, but I only purchased 4 spools so didn't have a lot invested. I was using it on a Pfaff performance 2054. After a number of breaks (which I haven't had with any other threads I use on this machine) I eventually discovered it was happening mostly when I was using the needle down position when there was no fabric under the needle while chain piecing or while going over humps when assembling blocks. So I switched to another Pfaff that didn't have the needle down option and had only an occasional breakage on it. But that was still too much for me so I'm no longer using this thread. I understand that an adjustment in your bobbin case might help but I didn't want to adjust mine since it works fine with all other brands of threads that I've used so far.

I have switched over to using So Fine for piecing. I never have a problem with it and I get less lint build up with it.

I love Masterpiece, and have never had a problem......on my Janome 6500. My Janome 1600 hates it and breaks very quickly! As the operator is a common factor here, I just don't use Masterpiece on that machine. She is very fussy about a lot of threads, but she does like Superior's So Fine!

On Surerior threads you will find the guide on how to find out why your threads breake. I have used it many times if I have issues with my thread. I have to say though, I am a new user of Surperior threads (only my last 2 quilts). But I have experienced the problems to many times with other brands. Most often the thread is breaking because I have done something "wrong".

I think in the 400 series Thread Guy went through a step by step evaluation of why thread breaks. It should be posted on SUPERIOR web pages.... If you do all that he says then give them a call..

THEY STATED IN THE PROGRAM they would reimburse or make good on the problem thread they just want to make sure it is not do to something else that could be fixed.... ie tension adjustments, operator error, problem with the machine, etc.

Check out the web page ... trouble shoot... then contact them...

I've been having the same problem. I have the spool standing up, label side up. It doesn't start doing that until I'm about half way through the spool. One of the things that helps is slowing down the speed of the machine. It is breaking near the needle I think.

May I have a bit more information please?
Where is the thread route is it breaking?
What size needle are you using?
Is the thread coming off the spool in a clockwise direction?

I'm having trouble with the thread breaking during normal piecing, any tips to prevent this? I went back to my tried and true Mako, but have a bit invested in the Masterpiece thread, so would like to use it....
