Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during embroidery

Ensure you are using the correct needle size (70-90) and that it is not dull or damaged. Check machine tension and clean any lint buildup in the bobbin area and thread path.

Skipped stitches

Verify the needle is inserted correctly and is the appropriate type and size. Check thread quality and ensure it is not tangled. Adjust machine tension.

Embroidery appears dull

Ensure proper lighting conditions. The trilobal structure provides brilliant shine, which is most apparent under good light. Check machine tension for even stitch formation.
