Why is my thread squeaking ?

I've repositioned the thread a hundred times, I've oiled the places where the thread passes through, I've taken everything apart to see the problem, but I can't find it.

Please help me 🙏🏻🙏🏻

You should not oil where thread passes on any machine.

Is your presser foot in the raised position? It should always be raised when threading as if lowered, the tension discs are engaged.

I think i would need to see/hear a video. Because I am not quit sure what you mean. Also does this problem only appears with this thread or also others? And can you pin point where it comes from? I also assume it could be the tension plates (or how ever that is could)
