Troubleshooting
Needle bending or breaking
Ensure you are using the correct needle type for the material. Avoid forcing the needle through excessively thick or hard sections. If the needle is already bent, replace it.
Difficulty piercing material
Verify the needle's tip is appropriate for the material (e.g., using the triangular tip for leather). Ensure the needle is not dull; replace if necessary. Apply steady, even pressure.
Thread not passing through the eyelet
Check that the thread is not too thick for the needle's eyelet. For coarser threads, ensure the eyelet is clear of any debris. Re-thread carefully.
Rust appearing on the needle
Needles are made of steel and can rust if exposed to moisture. Wipe the needle dry immediately. If rust is present, it may affect performance and longevity; consider replacing the needle.
