    Andrew LambertAug 21, 2025

    If your Brother Sewing Machine is skipping stitches, it could be due to several reasons. The machine might be threaded incorrectly, so check the threading procedure and rethread it. The thread or needle may not be suitable for the fabric, so consult the fabric, thread, and needle combination table to select the correct match. Other possible causes include a bent or blunt needle (replace it), the needle being installed incorrectly (reinstall it), a defective needle (replace it), or dust or lint collected under the needle plate (remove it with a brush).

  Why is the fabric not feeding through my Brother Innov-ís 2800D Sewing Machine?

    Gabriel ScottAug 25, 2025

    If the fabric isn't feeding through your Brother Sewing Machine, several factors could be at play. The feed dogs may be lowered; if so, use the feed dog position switch to raise them. Alternatively, the stitches might be too close together, requiring you to lengthen the stitch length. Using the wrong presser foot can also cause this issue, so attach the correct one. Finally, a bent or blunt needle can hinder fabric feeding, so replace it with a new one.

    If your Brother Sewing Machine does not operate, there are several things to check: make sure a pattern is selected, press the “Start/Stop” button, turn the main power switch on, lower the presser foot, or if using a foot controller, either remove it or use it to operate the machine.

    If the thread tension on your Brother Sewing Machine is incorrect, consider these possible causes. The upper threading might be incorrect, so check the threading procedure and rethread the machine. The bobbin could be set incorrectly, so reset the bobbin thread. The thread or needle may not be suitable for the fabric, so check the fabric, thread, and needle combinations. Additionally, the presser foot holder might not be attached correctly, so reattach it. Finally, the thread tension itself might be set incorrectly, so adjust it.

    If the needle of your Brother Sewing Machine breaks, it might be due to several reasons. The needle could be installed incorrectly; if so, reinstall it correctly. The needle clamp screw might not be tightened, so tighten it. Other possibilities include a bent or blunt needle (replace it), the thread or needle not being suitable for the fabric (check the fabric, thread, and needle combinations), the upper thread tension being too strong (adjust it), the spool being installed incorrectly (reinstall it), or a defective needle (replace it).

    If the bobbin thread breaks on your Brother Sewing Machine, it could be due to a few reasons. The bobbin might be set incorrectly, so reset it correctly. There might be scratches on the bobbin, or it might not rotate properly, in which case you should replace it. Also, the thread could be tangled; use scissors to cut and remove the tangled thread from the bobbin case.

    If your Brother Sewing Machine is making a high-pitched sound while sewing, it could be due to a few reasons. Dust or lint might be caught in the feed dogs, so remove it. Pieces of thread could be caught in the bobbin case, so clean it. The upper threading might be incorrect, so check the procedure and rethread the machine. There also might be scratches on the bobbin case, so replace it or consult your authorized dealer.

  Why is the fabric puckering when I sew with my Brother Innov-ís 2800D?

  

  Same questionReply

    David Graves Jr.Sep 5, 2025

    If the fabric puckers when using your Brother Sewing Machine, several factors could be responsible. The upper or bobbin threading might be incorrect, so check the threading procedure and rethread the machine. The spool could be installed incorrectly, so reinstall it properly. The thread or needle may not be suitable for the fabric, so check the fabric, thread, and needle combinations. Other possible causes include a bent or blunt needle (replace it), stitches that are too long for lightweight fabrics (shorten the stitch length), incorrect thread tension (adjust it), or using the wrong presser foot (attach the correct one).

    Corey ThomasSep 8, 2025

    If the character pattern on your Brother Sewing Machine does not sew out correctly, it could be due to several reasons. The wrong presser foot might be used, so attach the correct one. Pattern adjustment settings might be set incorrectly, so correct them. A stabilizer material might not have been used on lightweight or stretch fabrics, so attach one. Also, the thread tension might be set incorrectly, so adjust it.

  Why is the embroidery pattern on my Brother Innov-ís 2800D not sewing out correctly?

  

  Same questionReply

    Joseph PhillipsSep 10, 2025

    If the embroidery pattern on your Brother Sewing Machine does not sew out correctly, several factors could be responsible. The thread might be tangled, so cut the tangled thread and remove it from the bobbin case. The fabric may be incorrectly hooped in the embroidery frame (e.g., fabric was loose), so hoop it correctly. A stabilizer material may not have been attached; always use one, especially with stretch fabrics, lightweight fabrics, fabrics with a coarse weave, or fabrics that often cause pattern shrinkage. The fabric outside of the frame edges might interfere with the sewing arm, so rehoop the fabric so that excess fabric is away from the sewing arm, and rotate the pattern 180 degrees.
