Needle keeps breaking
There are many possibilitys
1- the needle and the fabric have to match - soft needle to hard fabric and the needle breaks - you need a needle with a higher number ex.90
2- not threaded correctly
3 - thread tension is too High to the fabric
look in the manual
good luck
My machine started slowing down,
Hi most likely it is the Foot Controller that's at fault. This is the most commonest problem. Not the actual machine itself.
The "My machine started slowing down" is what gives it away, the ONLY thing that can cause a machine to slow down, is the controller, you most likely need to replace it, or at least get it looked at by a professional service man.
Take you machine in to a reputable servicing center for your brand and get them to look at it, ask for a "quote' for the repair.
If this doesn't prove to be the case then you may indeed have a seized motor, this would have to be replaced with a new one, that may prove quite expensive, however this will all be revealed after you get your "Quote". Which should explain what has been found, and how much it should cost.
What are the numbers on the color coded needles
Needles made for different fabrics - are soft needle have a low number (ex.silk fabrics) and a hard needle has a high number(ex.canvas)
Make a test so you don't ruin the fabric or break the needles
god Luck
Can't turn wheel
Check the area that contains the bobbin. There might be something loose in there. While you\'re in there, clean an oil this area. Also, open the end cover (left side of machine) and lubricate the swivel arm top and bottom and wait overnight for oil penetration; you can also use a hair blow dryer to speed this up. For oiling diagram, see:

Thread keeps breaking, Silk Fabric bunching u[
Machine breaks needles
1.make sure you are using the right needle for your type of sewing machine.
Most machines can use generic Schmetz needles. There are cases where the machine will only use ones specified in the owners manual.
2.the presser foot may not be installed properly
3.use the correct needle for the type of fabric you are working with. To fine of needle on heavy fabric or to course a needle on silk or jersey can damage fabric. make sure the correct needle for silk is being used.
4.let the feed dogs guide the fabric & the feed dogs will work with the presser foot .
5.the needle is not all the way in -push all the way up against the stopalso clean under the needle plate & in the bobbin area for lint or loosethreadscheck to make sure the feed dogs are completely in the up positionif none of these suggestions work then it's possible that the machineis out of time & would have to retimed at a sewing machine shop
The main thread breaks when ever i go in reverse
If your upper thread break instantly, many chances are the needle was inserted in the wrong position. Or your spool of thread is too old.--------
make sure the machine is threaded proiperly with a good mercerised thread no thicker than a number 40, make sure the needle is in the correct way round, top tension about 4 or 5.------
The most common problems stem from incorrect threading of the upper thread or bobbin thread. Unthread your machine completely. Be sure that your thread is sturdy and in good condition. Replace your sewing machine needle as well. Burrs on the needle, a bent needle or incorrectly placed needle can cause many sewing machine problems. Re-thread your machine.Remove the bobbin ,clean it and replace. Threading errors cause incorrect stitch formation, skipped stitches and thread breaks.
