Why does my Brother Sewing Machine needle keep breaking?

If your Brother Sewing Machine needle breaks, several factors could be at play. Ensure the needle is correctly fitted and the needle clamp screw is tightened with a screwdriver. A bent or blunt needle should be replaced. The fabric, thread, and needle combination should be appropriate for the task. Verify that the correct presser foot is attached for the stitch type. If the upper thread tension is too tight, loosen it. Lastly, use only bobbins designed for your machine, as incorrect ones won't work properly.
