Upper thread breaks
The most common error here is that the threading is not correct - To make sure you have this done correctly please consult your instruction book and correctly thread machine as per the books guidance.
Upper thread can also break if:
The thread has a knot in it or has become twisted - To fix this problem we recommend that you remove the knot and check the thread quality.
The Thread tension is too tight- You will need to change the top thread tension and move it to a lower setting.
Needle is bent or blunt or has a sharp eye - Replace needle.
Needle is wrong size or needle has been inserted wrong - Replace needle with correct size.
Needle and thread does not match - Use quality thread or needle.
Starting to stitch too fast - Start sewing machine at a medium or slow speed.
Thread take-up lever has not been threaded - Check threading order and check thread is in take-up slot.
