Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with my thread, it keeps breaking! It first happened and I changed the spool to use a different thread. It snapped again and I figured I had a bur on my bobbin(all metal.) I felt around the mouths and didn't feel anything so I thought that the bur must be in the tube. I ordered a ceramic bobbin which I received today. Tried to ty a fly and the thread broke again. Then I thought maybe there was a bur on the hook. Got a new hook and no dice, it snapped. Tried a different thread (again) with the same results. I also tried to bend out the holders on the bobbin so there wasn't as much pressure and it didn't help.
Any clue as to what could be causing this?
