Why is my Brother Sewing Machine upper thread breaking?
- TTyler ThomasAug 21, 2025
Your Brother Sewing Machine upper thread may be breaking because the thread is too thick for the needle. Select a thread that matches the needle. Other potential causes include the needle being incorrectly installed (install the needle correctly), the thread being threaded incorrectly (thread the thread correctly), or damage to parts such as the rotary hook, hook stopper, needle hole plate, needle, or thread path (repair or replace the parts). Also, incorrect needle and rotary hook timing (adjust the needle bar lift amount), strong upper thread tension (reduce the upper thread tension), strong thread take-up spring tension (reduce the tension), or thread breaking from heat (use a needle cooler or reduce sewing speed) can cause the upper thread to break.
