  If your Toyota Sewing Machine isn't forming stitches, or you only see needle holes, it could be because: * The upper thread may be passing from behind the needle to the front; pass it from the front to the back, or use the needle threader. * You might be using thread with a strong twist; change the thread or adjust the upper thread tension to between -3 and -2. * The thread may be too thin for the needle; use a suitable thread.
