There's a tension dial with numbers-0-9 --above the needle area- the smaller the number the looser the tension--the higher the number the tighter the tension

thread breaking-try this
try rethreading the machine
thread tension to tight
needle is bent or blunt
needle is inserted incorrectly
the thread is either too heavy or too fine for the needle

try this & see if it helps you
Cut 6-8 inch piece of thread of the spool you are going to use for your project
Take the needle you are going to use for the project
& insert the thread thru the eye of the needle
& lift one end of the thread to a 45 degree angle
& if the needle is the right size for the thread it will slide down the thread
But if the needle hangs on the thread you need one size larger needle for the thread

Why does my thread keep coming out of the needle on my Juki 2010?

Coming out? You mean thread breaking? This is always incorrect threading or incorrect tension, or rotten thread.

The videos explain how to set the bobbin tension first and then as long as your threading is okay, any other adjustment is done on the top tension. Bobbin tension only needs very small adjustments and is just enough to stop the thread from falling under the weight of the bobbin.

I have a Juki 8700 and my threads on the top needle keeps coming out of the needle every 2-3 stitches and i have to keep putting the thread into the needle. what do i do to fix this problem ?

Loosen your top tensions (large tension near the needle, small tension near the top of the machine controls the tails on your back tack also)

If it mess up the stitch on your work, you will also need to loosen the tension on your bobbin case.

I usually start by turning the small tension to the left about a half turn, sew and see if that stops it, then if not, move onto more aggressive turns.

Before you do any of this, make sure that your thread is coming off the cone easily and that the thread isn't being held up by the thread stand or isn't wrapped around the peg that is the first hole in your threading.

Good Luck, :)

Why does my machine break the thread a lot? A juki cp 130

Watch your thread while sewing slowly. You may be able to see where the problem originates. It may just be a matter of the thread popping out of a thread guide or looping around something it shouldn't.

Avoid old or bargain bin variety thread. Invest in fresh, good quality thread.

Try installing a brand new needle.

When threading the upper thread, ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot. Remove all the thread from the machine and rethread from the beginning. Confirm the thread path is correct and that the bobbin is loaded and threaded correctly. Set the tension to the midway point to start and then tweak it for your particular machine.

The top thread keep breaking. should the tension

Thread breakage is usually due to the needle in backwards, upper tension too tight or old/weak thread.

When replacing the needle, make sure that the flat side is to the right (3 o'clock position) and is pushed all of the way up before tightening.

What brand and weight of thread are you using and are you sewing with the foot or free motion sewing?

Thread breaks

First, change the needle, second, set the tension 3-5 if it only goes to 8. Next, unthread the machine with new thread and be very careful to make sure the thread is in the tension wheel.

My thread is breaking when I'm sewing on my Juki DDL 555

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT NEEDLE FOR THE THREAD YOU ARE USING, AND THAT THE SAME THREAD IS ALSO IN THE BOBBIN. CHECK UPPER TENSION, BY PULLING SLIGHTLY, IF IT'S TIGHT, LOOSEN THE UPPER TENSION.YOUR THREAD MAY BE THE WRONG SIZE OR TYPE FOR THE SPEED YOUR SEWING., and the needle your are using( sorry about the caps lock)
