Troubleshooting
Thread breaking during machine sewing
Ensure the thread is correctly threaded through the machine, check for any burrs on the needle plate or presser foot, and try a new needle.
Stitches are uneven
Verify the machine's tension settings are appropriate for the fabric and thread. Ensure the needle is the correct type and size for the fabric.
Thread tangles or knots easily
Check the bobbin winding is even and the bobbin is seated correctly. Ensure the upper thread path is clear and the presser foot is engaged.
