My upper thread keeps breaking when I embroider anything, need help??

Check your thread tension by using the dial on the top of your machine. If the tension is too tight, your thread will break. Depending on your material type and thickness, thread tension may need to be adjusted. Also, make sure your material and stabilizer are taught and secure in the embroidery hoop. It should be pulled very tight in the hoop to prevent any thread breaks.

I also have this problem with the soldering iron pencil, the plastic of the thread that holds and covers the tip and resistance was heated and expanded, now the thread does not fit well and be seen. My solution was to put aluminum foil around to get them to hold, I think it's a problem of material and workmanship, for the rest I have no problem.

I haven't had that problem, althought mine has come apart several times. I push the part into the upper piece and turn it in the direction shown by the arrow on the lower part to lock it. I'd offer the suggestion to firmly seat the parts together and then twist the two pieces in the direction shown by the arrows. That's all I can offer.

Maxi-Lock thread and the least expensive place I've found to buy it is Wawak Sewing at www.Wawak.com online. I hope this will help you.

I've never had a problem like this, it sounds almost like the thread is damaged. LContact the manufacturer. I find this the best accessory I've ever purchased for my DSLR

You need to use a lot of pressure on larger end, but then once switched over it should stay on until you're ready to replace again. Good luck!

I agree with the other answer, check for lint under the black bobin casing. You will need to unscrew your throat plate. Also, if it is too tight on the bottom try loosening the top. If it is too loose on the bottom try tightening the top. Most tension problems can be fixed on top. Most of the time the bobbin tension is the last place to adjust. My students sometimes will have tension problems if they have the thread caught incorrectly in the first catch of the threading before step 1 of the threading process. Try that first. 90 percent of tension problems are fixed by changing the upper thread tension and by re threading.

I don't think there is a choice when buying bobbin thread other than the weight and even then you may only have a choice of black or white. When you run out of thread or the thread breaks, you have to back up a few stitches past the break/end of bobbin and start from there..........it can happen to anyone unless the machine has a low bobbin indicator.

The timing was knocked off due to a jam. This can be due to mis-threading of the top thread (presser foot up), thread caught up on the spool or spool pin or the bobbin may have been inserted so the thread was feeding in the wrong direction or jumped out of the guides. When embroidering a large item, make sure the outer area of the fabric (the amount not hooped) does not fall into the path of the needle - this will really knock the timing out of whack. Stay with the machine as it stitches so you can cut quickly the power should problem come up.

Try making sure you didn't loose the spring inside. Take off the bottom cap and check. You also have the spool inside the head upside down, check that if the problem still persist.

Whenever I have had an issue I have called the manufacturer...they are always willing to help and provide ...sometimes even free of charge. That would be my first place to start. Otherwise go to a craft store ...you can pick it up in bulk. But again my first choice would be to contact the manufacturer.

I have the pe 770 brother. The thread is good for big letters but appliqus and small letters it breaks and tears easy! Yes I use it but that's due to I already have it and it's cheap. I recommend coats thread from Walmart

The thread is very thin and difficult to work with. I could not get it to work in my serger and I can get a lot of different kinds of threads to work in my serger but this thread was a no go no matter what I did with the tension. I would not recommend this thread.

I think at the bottom side of the machine and at the top where the thread go's or if not well, call the company and they can tell you more. and sorry if I cloud't help you.

I have wondered about the same thing. On my quilt I am just using a primitive/running stitch with thicker thread, but it hasn't seemed to affect the other stitches.

My Singer works pretty well. I have been embroidering a baby blanket and using the embroidery stitches. Sometimes the thread breaks, but it's normal when you are embroidering. Suggestion: sewing slowly works best. I am happy with my Singer.
