Why does the thread keep breaking on my Brother Sewing Machine?
- CChristopher PatelJul 29, 2025
Thread breakage in your Brother Sewing Machine can occur for several reasons. The thread tension control nut pressure might be too strong, requiring adjustment to an appropriate pressure. The thread itself may be of poor quality, so try using a better-quality thread. The thread could also be too thick for the needle; in this case, use a differently sized needle. A rough needle groove or needle hole can also cause breakage, so replace the needle with a new one. Finally, incorrect needle and looper adjustment, or damage to the needle, looper, throat plate, or thread path, may be the cause. In this case, adjust the needle bar height or the looper and spreader height or repair the damage with an oilstone or buffer, or replace the damaged part.
