Troubleshooting
Thread breaking during machine sewing
Check that the needle is the correct size (70-90 recommended) and is not bent or dull. Ensure the thread is correctly seated in the machine's tension discs and guides. Adjust machine tension if necessary.
Skipped stitches
Verify the needle size and type are appropriate for the fabric. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and is not damaged. Clean your machine's bobbin area and feed dogs.
Excessive lint in machine
While this thread produces minimal lint, ensure your machine's feed dogs and bobbin area are clean. If using very fuzzy fabrics, occasional cleaning may still be needed.
Uneven stitch tension
Adjust the upper thread tension and bobbin tension settings on your sewing machine. Refer to your machine's manual for specific guidance.
