      If the needle thread breaks on your Husqvarna sewing machine, try the following: * Insert the needle correctly. * Use needle system 130/705 H. * Insert a new needle. * Remove the thread completely and rethread the machine. * Place the large spool holder with the flat side up under the spool on the spool pin, or for larger spools use a thread net over the spool. * Change the needle to the proper size for the thread. * Change to a new high-quality thread purchased from an authorized HUSQVARNA® VIKING® retailer. * Attach a spool cap slightly larger than the actual thread spool. * Try a different spool pin position (vertical or horizontal). * Change the needle plate. * Lower the thread tension in small increments until the problem is solved.
