Thread problem ellure thread keeps breaking

• Raise presser foot when upper threading.
• Thread normally through all guides
• Lower presser foot
• Thread needle, leaving a 6" thread tail
• Raise foot and gently pull thread (no tension)
• Lower foot & gently pull thread (you'll feel resistance)
• Delint upper tension with Compressed Dry Canned Lint Remover ie: Computer Quality. Be sure no thread is in machine and foot is up so tension is released

as you thread the machine check for burrs, also on the needle plate

first change the needle
rethread the machine top & bobbin
use every thread guide
clean under the needle plate & in the bobbin area for lint
make sure the bobbin is not warped or damaged
make sure the bobbin is not to full
make sure the bobbin is inserted correctly & turned correctly in the
bobbin case
make sure there are not any burrs on the needle plate
make sure there are not any burrs on the bobbin case

Are you using MATALIC needles? This is a must. As they have a larger eye for the thread.

it is easy darling, you just quit lossen your bobbin, and replace your needle.

i changed thread again, and it is working fine now. don't know if that was actually the problem, or coincidence! but i read at your website that someone suggested old thread could be a problem. many thanks, b.

One of the most common mistakes with overlockers is that the threads must always be threaded in order. So if you sew about 1 inch and the thread breaks try unthreading the eyes of the needles rethread the looper and then rethread the eyes of thew needles. If not you will get the same result of sewing about 1 inch and it will break again.

I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AND WHEN I WOULD CHECK THREAD IT WOULD BE OK, MOST OF THE TIME HOWEVER, IF I COMPLETELY UNTHREAD IT AND RETHREAD IT THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED. I HATE IT WHEN THEY DO THIS MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THEM

While sewing on towels, it helps to use a wash away stabalizer also on the top surface. Also, you may want to wash the towel first. this will soften the surface.

I don't know for sure, but I have found that a dull needle will cause the thread to break. We have fixed many machines just by changing the needle. Try it, it may fix the problem.
