Why does the needle keep breaking?
There could be several reasons why the needle keeps breaking.
- Make sure the needle is correctly inserted with the flat side facing the back and pushed up into the machine as far as possible.
- The needle could have been damaged or bent. If so replace with a new one.
- The upper thread could be installed incorrectly. Rethread the machine according to the instructions in the manual.
One Point Advice Upper threading
- The upper thread tension could be set too tight. Set the tension to the best thread tension setting or less.
- The thread density of the embroidery data is too fine. Three or more overlapping stitches are being sewn.
Using a data design system, correct the thread density and overstitching settings in the embroidery data.
- A bobbin designed specifically for this machine is not used.
Be sure to use the correct bobbin.
