Brothers pe150 embroidery machine will not sew

try changing the needle
rethread the machine--use every thread guide
make sure the bobbin is not warped
make sure the bobbin is inserted correctly in the case
it's very possible that the timing of the machine is off & the machine would need to be checked at a sewing machine shop

Full details on how to adjust the timing appear here in my Brother PE150 blog. You will need a few basic tools including the stubby screwdriver that came with your machine.

Hi. This may sound silly, but the most likely reason the upper thread doesn't pick up the bobbin thread is that the needle is in backwards. (Sounds silly, but it's true!)

Needle shanks have a flat side and that flat side has to go in a particular way for your machine. With most modern machines, the flat side goes to the rear, facing away from you. Check your manual to be sure.

The second most likely reason is that your needle may be bent. Check that your needle is straight (or just use a new one).

Hope this helps!


Happy Sewing,

Robbie

your tension release unit is stuck or slipped out

Two places you can check. The first is Ron at a1sewingmachine.com or Wendy at [email protected].

It sounds like the timing is off and needs an authorized repairman.

No, I did not find a solution. And I have no desire to subscribe to your plan, thanks anyway. It is still a PE150 not LS-2125.

When this happens you need to adjust the tension down. If it's set at a default of 4 move it down to 3.5 or even down to 3 sew a bit check. Certain threads do this more (Sulky) on the brother than others (Maderia), but the black lettering in the embroidery feature always seems to need adjusted. The tension adjustment is the same for sewing or embroidery mode.

Yes I fixed it and for $14.99 I'll share the solution with you

You need to adjust your top tension and maybe your bottom tension ( the little screw on the bobbin cover) Also check your needle and make sure it's straight.
