Troubleshooting
Thread breaking frequently
Check that you are using the recommended needle size (70-90) and that the needle is sharp and not bent. Ensure the thread path is clear of lint and snags. Adjust machine tension if necessary.
Skipped stitches
Verify the correct needle type and size is being used. Ensure the machine is properly threaded and that the bobbin is wound correctly. Clean the machine's feed dogs and needle plate.
Dull or flat embroidery appearance
Ensure the thread is unwinding smoothly from the spool. Check that the bobbin tension is balanced with the top thread tension. The trilobal structure requires proper tension to reflect light effectively.
