      The thread may be breaking due to several reasons. It could be that the machine wasn't threaded correctly, so ensure you thread it properly. Alternatively, the thread tension might be too high; try adjusting it. Also, check that the needle is correctly inserted into the needle holder.

      If the needles are breaking, it could be due to a few reasons: the needles might be bent, blunt, or damaged, in which case you should insert a new needle. Another reason might be that the needles were inserted incorrectly; make sure to insert them correctly into the needle holder. Finally, pulling too hard on the fabric can cause the needles to break, so guide the fabric gently using both hands.
