Troubleshooting
Thread breaking during machine sewing
Check that the needle is sharp and correctly inserted. Ensure the thread path is clear and the tension is properly adjusted for the fabric type. Use the correct needle size for the thread and fabric.
Skipped stitches
Verify needle type and size compatibility with fabric and thread. Ensure the machine is clean and properly lubricated. Check for any burrs on the needle plate or hook.
Lint build-up in sewing machine
Although this thread is designed to be lint-free, occasional cleaning of your machine's bobbin area and feed dogs is still recommended. Ensure you are using the correct needle size – too large a needle can cause excessive lint.
