Top 6 Common Sewing Machine Problems & Fixes:
Thread Bunching/Bird’s Nesting
Thread tangles under the fabric due to improper top threading or not raising the presser foot while threading.
Needle Bending or Breaking
Often caused by pulling fabric through too quickly, using the wrong needle size, or hitting pins.
Thread Breaking (Top or Bobbin)
The issue may be caused by overly tight tension, low-quality thread, or improper insertion of the needle.
Skipped Stitches
Typically caused by a bent or dull needle, or a needle that is unsuitable for the fabric type.
Uneven Tension/Loopy Stitches
Issues may arise from lint in the tension discs, incorrect threading, or the bobbin not being seated properly
Fabric Not Feeding
Often this occurs due to lint buildup on the feed dogs or the feed dogs being lowered for free-motion stitching.
