Why does my Brother T-8722B Sewing Machine skip stitches and unravel thread at the start?
- V
  vedwardsAug 15, 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.

Why are the upper and lower threads breaking on my Brother T-8722B Sewing Machine?
- A
  Allison MendozaAug 18, 2025
  If the upper and lower threads are breaking, several factors could be at play. First, check the needle: if it's bent or broken, replace it. Ensure the needle is correctly installed and the machine is properly threaded. Verify that the oil tank is adequately filled with lubricating oil. Adjust the upper or lower thread tension if it's too weak or strong. Clean the rotary hook if it's blocked with dust or thread scraps. Adjust the stopper position if the thread take-up spring operating range is too small. If the rotary hook, feed dog, or other parts are damaged, smooth them or replace them. Smooth any damage to the thread path or replace the damaged part. Finally, ensure the thread take-up amount is correct by adjusting it.

  If your Brother Sewing Machine is skipping stitches, start by checking the needle. Replace it if the tip is bent or broken, and make sure it's correctly installed. Ensure 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, adjust the height of the presser foot if it's too high. Adjust the tension of the thread take-up spring if it is too weak and adjust the thread take-up amount if it is too large.

What to do if the upper and lower thread is not tight on my Brother T-8722B?
- J
  Jillian RichAug 25, 2025
  If the upper or lower thread on your Brother Sewing Machine isn't tight enough, first ensure the thread is correctly threaded. Adjust the upper or lower thread tension if it's too weak. If the thread take-up spring operating range is too small, lower the position of the stopper. If using a sewing machine with medium-weight material specifications, and poor thread tightening occurs, replace the presser foot with one that has slots on the underside, or replace the feed dog with a grooved feed dog.

Why is the lower thread tangled when starting to sew with my Brother T-8722B?
- M
  Michael RiceAug 27, 2025
  If the lower thread is tangling at the start or the bobbin is spinning during thread trimming on your Brother Sewing Machine, ensure the bobbin spins in the opposite direction to the rotary hook when the lower thread is pulled. Make sure the bobbin winding amount is not more than 80%. Attach the anti-spin spring. If the bobbin isn't turning smoothly, replace it. Use only bobbins specified by Brother.

Why are loops appearing in the seam of my Brother T-8722B?
- C
  cooperbrianAug 30, 2025
  If loops are appearing in the seam of your Brother Sewing Machine, first ensure the thread path is smooth by polishing it with a fine grain file or sandpaper. Check that the bobbin is turning smoothly; pull out the lower thread to check for slackness in the thread tension, or replace the bobbin or bobbin case. Finally, adjust the thread take-up amount if it's too large.
