How to fix skipped stitches on my Melco EP 1 Sewing Machine?

  Skipped stitches on your Melco Sewing Machine could be due to several factors. The needle may need to be replaced, as it may be the incorrect needle for the thread size being used. Ensure the needle is installed correctly. Other possible causes include issues with needle depth, the rotary hook, or a dull hook point. You may need to adjust the needle depth or replace the hook. Upper/bobbin tension issues may also cause skipped stitches, so replace the bobbin and/or bobbin case and adjust the upper tensions if the upper thread does not feed out smoothly. If the thread twist is too tight, use the appropriate thread. Also, the check spring tension could be too high, so decrease the tension.

  If the needle breaks on your Melco Sewing Machine, there are several possible causes. The needle may be bent, of poor quality, have a dull tip, or be too small for the fabric; replace the needle in all these cases with a compatible one. Ensure the needle is correctly installed. The needle may be striking the rotary hook, needle plate, or UTC; in these cases you should adjust hook timing or reposition the UTC.

  Loose stitches on your Melco Sewing Machine can occur for several reasons. The upper or bobbin thread tension might be too low, so adjust the upper thread tensions or the bobbin case set screw. Uneven thread size can also cause this issue, so replace it with quality thread. If the upper tension is inconsistent, clean the tensioner parts. Also, design density may be too tight, so decrease density.

  Thread breakage in your Melco Sewing Machine can occur due to several reasons. It could be due to the design having short or dense stitches; edit the design to remove them. Other causes include using the wrong needle, a bent, damaged, or dull needle, or incorrect needle position; replace the needle with a compatible one and ensure it's correctly installed. Poor quality thread can also cause breakage; replace it with a high-quality thread or spray silicone on the thread cone. If you're using S-twist thread, switch to Z-twist thread. Ensure proper threading, and adjust upper/bobbin tension if it's too tight. If the ratio of upper thread to bobbin thread is incorrect, adjust the tensions accordingly. Also, check if the fabric is hooped loosely and tighten it, or increase the number of backing...
