Thread problem - or is it the machine

I really do not like having a bad sewing day when I am making stuff for other people. I am having a problem where the thread is not feeding through to the needle properly - it bunches up and kinda only lets 1 little strand through. Is this the thread or is this the machine? FYI, I use Guttermann thread, and it has happened with several reels.

    Perhaps there is a little 'nick' in the eye of the needle, so that the thread is getting caught while sewing, and them bunching up?? Just a thought. Perhaps change the needle and see if that helps?

    I've never had a problem with Guterman - maybe it's a machine issue? Hope you get it sorted soon!

    I would say it is the needle or thread. Maybe a bit of fluff in the needle eye? Maybe the thread is cactus? and fraying

    The only other thing I can think of is changing the needle, but I'm sure you've done that already! Hope you can figure it out soon.

    I am hoping it is the brand of sewing needle I was using. I used several different ones of the same brand with the same prob, but when I switch brands, it was fine.
