Troubleshooting

Thread breaks frequently during tying.

Ensure you are using a ceramic bobbin holder and adjust the thread tension. Check the bobbin holder tip for any damage or burrs that could be cutting the thread.

Thread is difficult to control or slips during wrapping.

Adjust the thread tension on your bobbin holder. Ensure the thread is properly seated in the bobbin holder and not snagging.
