Troubleshooting

Thread breaking frequently

Check for burrs on the needle plate or bobbin case. Ensure you are using the correct needle size (NM 70-90) and that the needle is not dull or bent. Adjust machine tension if necessary.

Skipped stitches

Verify the correct needle type and size is installed. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and securely. Check that the thread is properly seated in the tension discs and guides.

Tangled thread or "bird's nests"

Make sure the top thread is correctly threaded through all guides and tension disks. Ensure the bobbin is wound evenly and inserted correctly. Check that the presser foot is down when starting to sew.

Uneven or loose seams

Adjust the upper tension setting on your sewing machine. Ensure the bobbin tension is also set correctly. Test on a scrap piece of fabric before sewing your project.
