Why does the upper thread keep breaking on my Singer Fashion Mate?
- A
  Angela SandersAug 18, 2025
  If the upper thread breaks on your Singer Sewing Machine, it could be due to several reasons. First, make sure the machine is threaded correctly; if not, rethread it. The thread tension might be too tight, so try reducing it. Also, check if the thread is too thick for the needle and select a larger needle if needed. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly with the flat side towards the back. Another cause could be the thread wound around the spool holder pin, so remove the reel and wind the thread onto it. Finally, the needle might be damaged, in which case you should replace it.

  Jeremy BakerAug 30, 2025
  If the needle breaks on your Singer Sewing Machine, several factors could be the cause. First, the needle itself might be damaged, so try inserting a new one. Ensure the needle is correctly inserted with the flat side towards the back. The needle size might be wrong for the fabric, so choose one that suits both the thread and fabric. Check that you're using the correct foot for the sewing task. A loose needle clamp screw can also cause breakage, so use a screwdriver to firmly tighten it. Ensure that the presser foot is appropriate for the type of stitch you wish to sew. Finally, overly tight upper thread tension can lead to needle breakage, so try loosening it.
