Why does the needle thread keep breaking on my ELNA Sewing Machine?

  melissa45Sep 4, 2025
  There are several reasons why the needle thread might be breaking. Make sure the needle thread is threaded correctly, adjust the needle thread tension, and replace the needle if it's bent or blunt. Also, reinsert the needle correctly, ensure both threads are properly positioned under the presser foot at the start, draw the fabric to the rear when finished, and use a thread suitable for the needle.

  Seam puckering can occur if the needle thread tension is too tight, or if the needle thread isn't threaded properly. The needle might also be too heavy for the fabric being sewn. To resolve this, make the stitch shorter if the stitch length is too long for the fabric.

  James BerrySep 6, 2025
  If the needle breaks, first, reinsert the needle correctly. If that doesn't solve the problem, replace the needle if it is bent or blunt. Also, check if the needle clamp screw is loose and tighten it. Ensure you are using the proper foot and a needle suitable for the fabric. Remember to draw the fabric to the rear when sewing is finished.
