    Why does the upper thread keep tearing on my Lumina ESM008 Sewing Machine?

      If the upper thread of your Lumina Sewing Machine tears, it might not be threaded correctly, or the tension could be too high. A bent, blunt, or incorrectly inserted needle can also cause this. Ensure the fabric is being transported properly during sewing, manually pushing it forward if needed by lowering the feeder. The thread might also be too thick or thin for the needle.

      If the lower thread of your Lumina Sewing Machine tears, check if the lower thread guide is correct. Also, the bobbin case finger may be blocked by fine fabrics, so try cleaning the bobbin case. If the bobbin case is damaged, consider replacing it.
