The Upper thread breaks while sewing on my Singer Heavy Duty Sewing Machine.

There are many reasons why the upper thread might break. The smartest thing to do first is to retread the machine and see if it helps. Make sure you are threading it with the pressure foot lifted.

If retreading the machine didn't resolve the issue, try to reduce the tread tension. You find the tread tension dial on top of the sewing machine.

Another reason why the thread breaks could be a to thick thread for the needle. Make sure you are using a needle made for both the sewing machine and the thread you are using.

If the needle isn't installed correctly (Pushed all the way up), has cracks or bent, or other fatigue-related markings, it can also lead to the upper thread breaks.


The Lower thread breaks on my Singer Heavy Duty Sewing Machine

If the lower thread breaks it's usually related to the bobbin.

The bobbin case is most likely not installed correctly, You have the wrong type of bobbin in the machine or something went wrong while winding it up.


The sewing machine skips Stitches

The most common problems that causes skipped stitches is related to the needle. Is the needle installed correctly? I recommend trying to install it again to make sure it is. You should also look for damages on the needle and make sure that you are using the correct type of needle. A wrong installment of the pressure foot can also result in skipped stitches. Try installing the pressure foot again.


The Needle Breaks while sewing

The needle usually breaks because it wasn't installed correctly, is bent, or is fatigued. If the needle isn't the problem, make sure that you have installed the correct pressure foot. Also, ensure that you haven't selected to much tension on the needle. You can select tension on the top of the sewing machine If you are sewing with the wrong needle size or type it can also result in needle breaking. If nothing helps I recommend trying to retread the machine with the pressure foot lifted. If you thread the sewing machine wrong and get the thread on the wrong side of the tension discs, it can also cause the needle to break.


Loose threadings

If you experience Loose threading, make sure that you have threaded the machine correctly and that you have selected the correct tension. If this doesn't resolve the issue you should make sure that you are using the correct needle and that the bobbin is correctly installed.


Uneven stitches or uneven feed

If the stitches are uneven you might be pulling to hard while sewing. The bobbin can also be winded wrong or the thread quality is poor.


The Sewing Machine makes bad noises, is to noisy and or sounds broken

Make sure that the sewing machine is oiled and clean. Retread the machine and make sure that the feed dogs aren't blocked. Another reason could be a broken needle.
