Troubleshooting
Thread breaking frequently
Check if the correct needle size (70-90) is being used. Ensure the needle is new and sharp, and that the machine's tension is properly adjusted. Thread the machine again, ensuring the presser foot is up when threading.
Stitches are uneven or loopy
This usually indicates a tension issue. Re-check and adjust the top and bobbin tension. Ensure the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool.
Embroidery design looks dull
Ensure you are using the correct needle type and that the machine is set to an appropriate stitch speed. The trilobal structure requires proper tension and stitch formation to maximize shine.
Thread snagging or catching
Inspect the machine's thread path for any rough spots or burrs. Make sure the thread is not twisted or tangled on the spool. Use a thread net if necessary.
