Troubleshooting

Needle is breaking during sewing.

Check that you're using the correct needle type and size for your fabric. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and that there are no snags in the thread.

Needle is difficult to thread.

Use a needle threader, especially for needles with small eyelets. Make sure the thread is cut cleanly and not frayed.

Stitches are uneven or skipping.
