Poor stitch formation
if thread is lying on top of the fabric, slow down the movement of
the material
if there are knots on the wrong side of the fabric, move the
material more quickly
Monofilament breaks
Reduce the motor speed and/or loosen the upper thread tension.
Thread breaks
Guide the fabric more consistently.
