  Julie RobersonAug 20, 2025
  Several factors can cause the needle thread to break on your Pfaff Sewing Machine. Ensure the needle is correctly inserted and is the appropriate type (system 130/705 H). Replace the needle if it's bent or blunt. Double-check that the machine is threaded correctly and that you're using the correct needle size for your thread. Poor quality, old, or dry thread can also cause breakage, so switch to a new, high-quality thread. Also, verify that you're using the correct size spool cap and try a different spool pin position (vertical or horizontal).
