Hi there! Hope you're getting all your Christmas sewing done. I am NOT at this point. Have never sewed on fleece before. Hard to believe. I must be the only one in the world who hasn't.
Anyway, I have an older Singer, which generally works just fine. A generally simple machine. HOWEVER, we are having trouble. I'm making a hem on some panels for Christmas. I used to sew a lot so that isn't the problem. The problem is either the thread's too light and breaks OR my needle eye isn't large enough or something. When I try sewing with a heavier needle (all this is by machine; I don't want to do it by hand if I can avoid it), the eye isn't big enough and if I used dual purpose thread, the thread all balls up between the needle and the spool up on top and/or the needle and the presser foot. I used a regular needle first and then tried a ballpoint needle. Nothing seems to work. HELP! B-)
Surely, someone can give me a hand on this. Don't send to the above address .. I'm in the U.S., but using a Canadian addy and have some trouble with my e-mail box. Either post a reply or send it to:

and of course, leave the SPAM out. Blessings and have a wonderful Christmas. Thanks in advance.
