What to do if skipped stitches occur while sewing with my Brother Sewing Machine?
- R
  Robert MckinneyAug 17, 2025
  If skipped stitches occur while sewing with your Brother Sewing Machine, several factors could be at play. The needle tip might be bent, requiring a replacement. Ensure the needle is correctly installed and the machine is properly threaded. Adjust the presser foot pressure if it's too weak. If the needle is too thin, replace it with a slightly thicker one. Also, check the presser foot height and adjust if it's too high. The thread take-up spring tension might need adjustment, and the needle and rotary hook timing should be checked and adjusted if necessary by adjusting the height of the needle bar and the clearance between the needle and the tip of the rotary hook.

What to do if my Brother SL-1110 Sewing Machine has skipped stitches at sewing start?

  If you're getting skipped stitches or thread unravelling at the start of your seam with your Brother Sewing Machine, make sure the thread take-up lever is at its highest position. Pull about 50 mm of thread through the needle hole. Reduce the tension and lower the position of the thread take-up spring. If the needle is too wide, use a needle with a count that is one lower than the current needle.

Why are the upper and lower threads breaking on my Brother SL-1110?
- J
  Joseph MayAug 22, 2025
  If you're experiencing upper and lower threads breaking on your Brother Sewing Machine, consider these points: First, inspect the needle for any bending or breakage and replace it if necessary. Ensure the needle is correctly installed and the machine is properly threaded. Adjust the upper and lower thread tension if they are too weak or too strong. If the upper thread is loose because the thread take-up spring operating range is too small, adjust the position of the thread take-up spring. Check the rotary hook, feed dog, and other parts for damage; smooth or replace them as needed. Finally, inspect the thread path for damage and smooth it or replace the damaged part.

How to fix large degree of puckering (excess tension) on Brother SL-1110?
- A
  Anthony SimpsonAug 26, 2025
  If you notice a large degree of puckering (excess tension) when using your Brother Sewing Machine, try the following: Weaken the upper and lower thread tension as much as possible. Replace the needle if it is blunt, and use as thin a needle as possible. Make the thread take-up spring tensions as weak as possible and lower the position of the thread take-up spring to as low a position as possible. Adjust the presser foot pressure and reduce the sewing speed slightly. Finally, tilt the front of the feed dog down slightly.

  If you are experiencing broken needles with your Brother Sewing Machine, make sure that you are not pushing or pulling the material with excessive force during sewing. Ensure the needle is correctly installed. Replace the needle if it is bent, the needle tip is broken, or the needle hole is blocked. Adjust the height of the needle bar and the clearance between the needle and the tip of the rotary hook. Retard the needle timing.

  Alicia ParkerAug 30, 2025
  If the upper thread isn't tight on your Brother Sewing Machine, it might be because the upper thread tension is too weak, or the lower thread tension is too strong. Adjust the upper thread tension or lower thread tension accordingly. Also, ensure the needle and feed timing is correct, and advance the needle timing if needed.

What to do if lower thread is tangled at the sewing start on my Brother SL-1110?

  Ryan GrahamSep 2, 2025
  If the lower thread is tangled at the sewing start with your Brother Sewing Machine, ensure the bobbin spins in the opposite direction to the rotary hook when the lower thread is pulled. Check that the bobbin winding amount is not more than 80 %. If the bobbin is not turning smoothly, replace it.

  If the lower thread isn't tight on your Brother Sewing Machine, it could be because the lower thread tension is too weak, or the upper thread tension is too strong. To resolve this, adjust the lower thread tension or the upper thread tension.

Why is the seam uneven on my Brother SL-1110 Sewing Machine?
- W
  William NorrisSep 7, 2025
  If your Brother Sewing Machine is producing uneven seams, it could be due to a few reasons. Check if the presser foot pressure is too weak and adjust it accordingly. Also, ensure the feed dog height is properly adjusted. If the bobbin is scratched or damaged, try smoothing it with an oiled grindstone or replace it altogether.

Why do loops appear in the seam of my Brother SL-1110 Sewing Machine?
- E
  Emily ReynoldsSep 10, 2025
  If you're seeing loops appear in the seam of your Brother Sewing Machine, it could be due to a thread path that isn't smooth enough. Use a fine-grain file or sandpaper to polish the thread path. Also, check if the bobbin isn't turning smoothly. Pull out the lower thread to ensure there's no slackness in the thread tension, or replace the bobbin or bobbin case.
