To Next PageTo Next PageHow to fix Brother Sewing Machine when needle breaks?
A needle can break for the following reasons: * The needle is touching the rotary hook; adjust the needle clearance. * The needle is bent; replace the needle. * The needle is too thin; use the correct needle for the material. * The needle is striking the button; refer to “6. CHECKING THE SEWING PATTERN” in the Instruction Manual.
What to do if my Brother KE-430B Sewing Machine skips stitches?
Skipped stitches can occur for several reasons: 1. The clearance between the needle and rotary hook tip might be too great; adjust the needle clearance. 2. The needle and rotary hook timing could be incorrect; adjust the needle bar lift amount. 3. The driver might be contacting the needle too much (except KE-484C); adjust the driver needle guard. 4. The needle could be bent; replace it. 5. The needle might be installed incorrectly; install it correctly. 6. The needle thread might be too short; adjust the thread take-up lever stroke.
