Why does my Brother Sewing Machine skip stitches and unravel thread at the start?
- SStephen FieldsAug 16, 2025
To address skipped stitches or thread unravelling at the start of sewing with your Brother Sewing Machine, reduce the tension of the thread take-up spring and raise the position of the stopper. Adjust the pretension if the trailing lengths of the upper threads are too short after thread trimming. Sharpen the fixed knives, or replace them along with the movable knives if the threads aren't being trimmed cleanly. Try using a needle with a count that is one lower if the needle is too wide. Use the slow start feature if the sewing speed is too fast at the start. Adjust the needle up stop position if it's too high. If sewing light or medium-weight materials, use a presser foot without slots and a feed dog without grooves.
