Thread Breaking While Stitching.

Recommended Posts

I just wanted to mention my thread was breaking at the needle several inches into a project I was working on and it seems to be the check spring that controls the thread going up to the arm.

It had tension but seemed to be sluggish at the stop.

I tightened the spring a little and haven't had any more issues.

Hi, I'm new to sewing machines. Can I ask, how would you deal with a broken thread like that? Comparing saddle stitch to lock stitch would you have to unpick and start again or overstitch it or something. Just asking as I'm sure I'm gonna find all sorts of thread stitch issues before I get comfortable with the machine. Cheers

Depending on what it is as in how many stitches involved.

For a belt I would pick up the stitches, melt the ends on the back side and continue stitching starting in pre stitched holes once I fixed the problem.

For smaller items I'll use the machine needle as a awl to keep the holes the same and then hand stitch.
