swf 6 head embroidery machine thread keeps breaking

Sometimes the machine screams “thread break” for no apparent reason.įor example, on my 12-needle SWF, needle 6 signals a lot of false thread breaks that I simply haven’t been able to solve. The best solution for the above is to rethread the machine and correct any low thread conditions. Other situations that cause a thread break signal are really a “thread out” indication most often triggered by an empty or low bobbin or the needle becoming unthreaded. This can also happen if a loop of thread forms suddenly resulting in slack in the thread. For example, a mis-threading can cause the thread break sensor to think there is a problem because it is not sensing the proper thread tension.

Sometimes the machine will signal a thread break when there really isn’t one, at least not technically. These are not only the easiest to check but the most common causes and quickest fixes to make. When your machine gives you the dreaded thread break message, first check to see if there is an actual thread break, then check the threading-both needle and thread, finally check the needle. “It’s always best to start at the beginning” is sound advice even if we have no Yellow Brick road to follow.
