Why does the upper thread keep breaking on my VERITAS Rachel Sewing Machine?
- P
  Patricia SaundersAug 18, 2025
  If the upper thread breaks on your VERITAS Sewing Machine, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the machine is threaded correctly by rethreading it. If the thread tension is too tight, reduce it. The thread may be too thick for the needle, so select a larger needle. Also, check that the needle is correctly inserted with the flat side towards the back. If the thread is wound around the spool holder pin, remove the reel and wind the thread onto it. Finally, a damaged needle can cause breakage, so replace it.
