Why does my Brother Sewing Machine needle keep breaking?

  Peter GreenJul 26, 2025
  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.

  If the upper thread of your Brother Sewing Machine breaks, first, check the upper threading to ensure it's correct, including the spool fitting and thread guide. The needle must be appropriate for the thread. If the upper thread tension is too tight, loosen it. Also, replace the needle if it is bent or blunt.
