  If the thread isn't being cut automatically on your Brother Sewing Machine, it could be due to: * Accumulation of lint or dust around the needle plate (moving knife, fixed knife, or thread retaining plate). Clean the needle plate area. * Using an incorrect bobbin case. Use the correct bobbin case designed specifically for your machine. * Lint or dust accumulation in the thread tension disc. Clean the thread tension disc.

What to do if embroidering is interrupted on my Brother PR1055X?
- A
  Amanda BellAug 10, 2025
  Embroidering may be interrupted by the presser feet not in use catching on the fabric outside of the design area. Stitch the design as close to the center of the embroidery frame using needle bars 3 through 7, keeping the head of the machine as centered as possible.
