Troubleshooting
Thread breaking during machine sewing
Check needle sharpness and ensure the correct needle size (70-90) is used for your fabric. Ensure machine tension is correctly adjusted and the thread path is clear of any snags.
Skipped stitches
Verify you are using the correct needle size and type. Ensure the machine is properly threaded and the bobbin is wound evenly. Clean any lint buildup in the bobbin area.
Lint buildup in machine
Although the thread itself produces minimal lint, ensure your machine is clean and free of dust or old thread fragments. Regular cleaning of the bobbin case and feed dogs is recommended.
