What needle size should I use?

Troubleshooting

Thread breaks frequently during sewing.

Check the needle for damage and replace if necessary. Re-thread the machine, ensuring the thread path is correct. Adjust the tension settings.

Thread is tangling or knotting.

Ensure the bobbin is wound correctly. Check for thread catching on the spool pin or other parts of the machine. Clean the machine of any lint or thread scraps.

Stitches are uneven.

Check the tension settings of both the top and bobbin threads. Use the correct needle size for the fabric being sewn. Ensure the fabric is feeding smoothly through the machine.
