Why does my Singer sewing machine keep breaking the thread?

The upper thread tension could be set too tight. Set the tension to the best thread tension setting or less. Make sure the spool of thread is installed correctly using the correct size spool cap for the size of spool. ... Check that the bobbin is wound so that it about 80% full and that the thread is evenly wound

Why does my thread keep shredding?

The most common reason why thread shreds, frays, or breaks at the needle is because the eye is too small to accommodate the thread, causing stress and friction, which results in shredding or breaking the top thread.

What to do if your thread keeps breaking?

The upper thread tension could be set too tight. Set the tension to the best thread tension setting or less. 3. Make sure the spool of thread is installed correctly using the correct size spool cap for the size of spool.

Why does my bobbin thread keep breaking?

Sewing Machine: Bobbin thread breaks. A dirty shuttle race, improper thread routing or incorrect thread tension can break the bobbin thread. Unplug the sewing machine and check thread routing according to guidelines in your owner's manual. Reroute the thread correctly if necessary

What tension should my sewing machine be on?

The dial settings run from 0 to 9, so 4.5 is generally the 'default' position for normal straight-stitch sewing. This should be suitable for most fabrics. If you are doing a zig-zag stitch, or another stitch that has width, then you may find that the bobbin thread is pulled through to the top.
