At least I think I fixed it -
I think the
thread shredding was caused by the needle being a bit "old" -
When I replaced
it with the first new one -
There was no shredding - but the needle broke - for
whatever reason -
The second "new" needle probably wasn't all the way up in the housing -
And came loose when I sewed a little faster than I normally do -
It looked like it broke in half -
And it seems to be OK so far -
But now I've probably jinxed it - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Hopefully that was the only problem and you have it fixed. The first needle may have been ever so slightly bent - I KNOW how that causes problems.
And if the needle isn't fully "pushed in" then it is "too long" which can cause it to break.
Wishing you jinx free sewing!
I hope you have lots of smooth sewing now. I have to change the needle on my machine today, round top instead of flat back so it is a challenge to get it in just perfectly.
Agree with Wanda. Those round top needles are oh so finicky to get in just perfectly. If it is a little off center, the shredding commences.
