What if the thread breaks?
• Check the thread path from the cone to the needle. It may not be threaded properly. . Check the cone of thread. If the thread is not wound properly, it may cause thread breaks. Try using a new cone of thread. • Check the tensions on the top thread and the bobbin thread. If the top tension is too loose or the bobbin tension is too tight, it may cause the thread to “bird nest” on the underside of the embroidery. • Try using a larger needle. If the eye of the needle is too small for the thread to flow through freely, it will cause thread breaks. • Make sure there are no burrs on the needle eye, thread guides, throat plate or rotary hook. If the thread gets caught on any of these, it could cause the thread to break. • Clean the lint from the thread path. You can use a brush or an air blower to clean these areas. • Make sure there are not too many small stitches in one area of the design or the design is not stitching over the same spot numerous times in a row.
