Bobbin case tension may be too tight.
Upper tension could be too tight.
Improper threading—double check the thread path and ensure the thread isn’t catching on the spool, laser cord, or other obstruction.
Bad thread – Dark thread tends to break more easily than light, as cotton, rayon, and other weaker fiber threads.
Sharp or rough needle eye. Replace the needle, and make sure you are using one that is large enough (a 4.0 is ideal) to accommodate your thread, especially if it is heavy or metallic. |
thanks so much!!!
I checked the bobbin and upper tension and they seem ok. I really think it was the thread. I changed to a different thread for the decorative part of my "project" and it worked out fine. I was using a black polyester thread before and I really think it was just junk or something. thankfully, what I am making is for me and I'm not selling it LOL
I will keep an eye on the needle as well. I just put this one in about a week ago but you never know!!!
thanks again!!!!
