    How to fix loops in the upper thread of my Brother Sewing Machine?
    • D
      David AndersonAug 30, 2025
      Loops in the upper thread may appear because: * The upper thread tension is low. After passing the upper thread through the hole in the presser foot, pull the thread by hand to check the thread tension. * The thread quality is poor. Try sewing with different thread. If the problem no longer occurs after the thread is changed, the thread quality is the problem. Replace the thread with one of good quality.

    What to do if my Brother Entrepreneur PR650e shows a broken thread error when the thread isn't broken?
    • J
      john08Sep 5, 2025
      This error can occur if the thread breakage sensor in the thread tension disc of the thread tension knobs cannot detect that the thread is being fed, even if the machine is running. Clean the tension unit and correctly pass the thread through the thread tension disc.

    Why doesn't the upper thread reach the bobbin thread when my Brother Entrepreneur PR650e starts embroidering?
    • J
      James PageSep 7, 2025
      The upper thread may not reach the bobbin thread if there is no more thread in the bobbin, the thread does not feed from the bobbin, or the thread that is fed from the bobbin is too short. Correctly thread the lower thread.

    Why does my Brother Entrepreneur PR650e make needle cuts or holes in the garment?
    • S
      Scott MitchellSep 10, 2025
      Needle cuts or holes in the garment are caused if the needle is dull. Replace the needle. Dull needles have a difficult time passing through the garment, causing fabrics to tear.
