Troubleshooting

Thread breaking frequently

Ensure you are using the recommended needle size (70-90). Check machine tension and clean your machine's thread path. Use a high-quality machine needle.

Skipped stitches

Verify the correct needle type and size are used. Ensure the machine is properly threaded and the bobbin is wound correctly. Try a fresh needle.

Embroidery looks dull

Confirm the thread is the Super Brite Polyester variety, as the trilobal structure is key to its shine. Ensure sufficient lighting when viewing the finished product.

Thread tangling or knotting

Check machine tension settings. Ensure the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool and not catching on anything. Re-thread the machine carefully.
