  If the needle thread breaks in your ELNA Sewing Machine, several factors could be responsible: * The needle thread might not be threaded correctly. * The needle thread tension could be too tight. * The needle might be bent or blunt. * The needle might be inserted incorrectly. * The fabric might not be drawn to the back when sewing is finished. * The thread might be too heavy or too fine for the needle.
