Spade Report post Posted October 5, 2018 I have a tech sew 2700 that breaks the thread at the needle every time. Very frustrating at this point. I’m using 138 thread with the proper needle size, I’ve tried adjusting the tension every way possible with no luck. Also noticing that the thread is coming out of the last tension roll as it is getting slack there. I don’t know if I explained this very well as I’m new to this sewing adventure.

Wizcrafts Report post Posted October 5, 2018 Is the thread passing around and into the check spring and is the spring's range of motion holding it taut until the needle pierces the material? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's what the threading of this area should look like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brmax Report post Posted October 5, 2018 Is your thread breaking at a certain point. Or during a function like back tac, or turning the material piece around. This could help a bit in the trouble shooting. Good day Floyd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonInReno Report post Posted October 6, 2018 What size needle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade Report post Posted October 16, 2018 Sorry for the late response, had to go back to work. So I checked the things asked & found that I didn’t have the thread coming around the bottom tension spool properly. I had a #23 needle & changed to a #24. This seams to have helped I was able to sew 2 lengths of 14” with out breaking the thread. I’m just working on getting the tension set properly. Thanks Very much for the replies Warren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wizcrafts Report post Posted October 16, 2018 I prefer a #23 needle with #138 thread, top and bottom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
