      Skipped stitches can be caused by several factors. First, make sure the needle is correctly installed with the notched part facing forward and fully inserted. Also, try loosening the thread take-up spring tension or shortening the stroke to prevent double hooking. Increasing the work clamp pressure may also help. Finally, the needle and hook timing may need adjustment.

      To fix skipped stitches, first, check the needle. Make sure it is attached correctly with the notched part facing forward and that it's the right size for the thread and material. Also, check the thread take-up spring tension and adjust it to prevent double hooking. Increase the work clamp pressure, ensuring the adjustment screw is tightened beyond the standard 30 mm. Finally, inspect the rotary hook, polishing or replacing it if necessary, and adjust the needle and hook timing, maintaining a gap of 0.01 - 0.08 mm between the needle and rotary hook.

      If the needle is breaking, ensure it is fully inserted into the needle bar with the notched part facing forward. Also, the needle and hook timing may need adjustment. Adjust the needle bar height to “1” and the needle bar lift amount to “2” on the gauge. The gap between the needle and rotary hook should be 0.01 - 0.08 mm. Ensure the rotary hook point does not strike the needle during zigzag motion.

    How to troubleshoot uneven seams (3) on my Brother HE-800A?
    • L
      Laura BellSep 23, 2025
      To address uneven seams on your Brother Sewing Machine, adjust the timing, so the upper thread scissors gradually start opening when the feed mechanism moves about 1.5 - 2.5 mm. Also, loosen the screw to decrease thread take-up amount, ensuring the upper thread doesn't pull out of the scissors assembly at the sewing start.

    What causes uneven seams on a Brother HE-800A Sewing Machine (lower thread)?
    • J
      Jeremiah LucasSep 1, 2025
      Uneven seams may result from issues with the lower thread retainer or clamp. Adjust the lower thread retaining amount. Ensure the lower thread clamp plate opens when the feed mechanism moves 6 – 7 mm. If the lower thread clamp and lower thread presser are bent, replace them and check that the screws are tightened.
