THREAD BREAKS
1.size of needle- may be too big or too
small.
•Needle Size: Make sure you’re using the appropriate needle size for your fabric. A needle that is
too big can create large holes, while one that is too small may struggle to push the thread through,
leading to breaks.
•Needle Type: Different fabrics require different types of needles. For example, a ballpoint needle is
better for knits, while a sharp needle is best for woven fabrics.
•Thread Thickness: Ensure that your thread is compatible with your needle size. Using a thick
thread with a small needle can cause issues.
•Needle Condition: Check if the needle is bent or dull. A damaged needle can cause thread
breaks.
•Tension Settings: Sometimes, thread breaks are caused by incorrect tension. Make sure your
upper and lower tensions are properly adjusted.
•Thread Path: Ensure that the thread is correctly threaded through the machine, including the
bobbin area.

THREAD BREAKS
•2.type of thread-may be too thin, knotted, or
uneven.
•. Thread Thickness: Ensure the thread weight is appropriate for your fabric and needle.
If the thread is too thin for the needle size, it may break easily.
•Thread Quality: Poor-quality or old thread can be more prone to breaking. Look for fraying,
knots, or unevenness in the thread.
•Knotted Thread: If the thread has knots, it can create tension issues and lead to breaks.
Always check for knots before sewing.
•Uneven Thread: Thread that is uneven in thickness can cause inconsistent tension, leading
to breaks. Use a good quality, smooth thread.
•Thread Material: Different materials (cotton, polyester, silk) have different strengths and
stretch characteristics. Make sure you’re using a thread that suits your project
