  Thread breakage on your Grace Sewing Machine can occur due to several reasons. A damaged needle could be the culprit, so check the needle. Incorrect thread tension, either top or bottom, may also cause the thread to break, so adjust the top and bottom thread tension accordingly. Improper threading of the machine, such as accidental double-wrapping on guides and tensioners, could also be the cause; ensure the thread mast is directly over the thread stands. Lastly, stitching in place for too long can lead to thread breakage; keep the machine moving or switch to regulated precise quilting mode.

  If your Grace Sewing Machine won’t turn on, it might be due to loose cables. Ensure that all cables are securely plugged in. Another possible cause is that the machine is not turned on. Make sure the power button is pressed down on the right side.

  Skipped stitches on your Grace Sewing Machine can be caused by several factors. First, check the needle for damage. Ensure that all tensioners and guides were threaded correctly. Also, verify that the bobbin was inserted in the correct direction in the case. Incorrect thread tension can also lead to skipped stitches, so adjust both the top and bottom thread tension. Finally, check the hopping foot distance from the needle plate with a height gauge and reinstall the hopping foot if it's incorrect.
