If your Brother Sewing Machine needles are breaking, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the needle is bent or blunt, and replace it if needed. Ensure that the needle is installed correctly. Avoid pulling the material forcibly while sewing.
What to do if my Brother ST4031HD does not feed?
If your Brother Sewing Machine is not feeding material, the presser foot pressure might be too loose. Turn the pressure adjustment screw clockwise to increase the presser foot pressure.
