Troubles Causes Corrective measures
1. Thread breakage
(Thread frays or is
worn out.)
Thread path, needle point,
hook blade point or bobbin case

has sharp edges or burrs.
○ Remove the sharp edges or burrs
on the blade point of hook using a
fine emery paper. Buff up the bobbin
case resting groove on the throat
plate.
Needle thread tension is too
high.
○ Decrease the needle thread ten-
sion.
Bobbin case opening lever
provides an excessive clearance
at the bobbin case.
○ Decrease the clearance provided
between the bobbin case opening
lever and the bobbin. Refer to "6.7.
Adjusting the bobbin case open-
ing lever" p. 63.
Needle comes in contact with
the blade point of hook.
○ Refer to "6.5. Needle-to-hook re-
lation" p. 61.

hook properly. Refer to "8.2. Lubri-
cation" p. 117.
(Needle thread trails 2
to 3 cm from the wrong
side of the fabric.)
