    Why does my Brother ZE-855A Sewing Machine skip stitches?
    • S
      Sylvia SteeleJul 30, 2025
      Skipped stitches can occur for several reasons. The needle tip may be bent or blunt, requiring replacement. The needle might not be installed correctly, or the machine may not be threaded properly; ensure both are done correctly. The presser foot pressure may be too weak, or the needle may be too thin, requiring adjustment or replacement with a thicker needle. The presser foot might be too high, the needle and rotary hook timing could be incorrect, or the thread tension spring may be too weak, each requiring adjustment.

    How to fix upper thread that is not tight on Brother ZE-855A?
    • D
      Dwayne ByrdAug 10, 2025
      If the upper thread is not tight, it could be due to the upper thread tension being too weak or the lower thread tension being too strong. You should adjust either the upper thread tension or the lower thread tension to resolve this issue.

    What to do if lower thread is not tight on Brother ZE-855A Sewing Machine?
    • B
      Beth RichAug 20, 2025
      If the lower thread is not tight, it may be because the lower thread tension is too weak, or the upper thread tension is too strong. Adjust the lower thread tension or the upper thread tension to correct this.
