Christina, if you have changed the needle & thread, you may have a burr on the chaining tongue or throatplate. I am assuming by "# 2 needle" you mean the right hand needle. If this is the case the problem is almost always one of these problems(assuming proper threading). If it is the left hand needle it could be one of those problems, a burr on the lower looper, or the looper out of time. These things can also cause problems with the right hand needle thread but ussually they affect the left hand side first.
Have fun or don't do it, Tom
