I wasn't able to fix my breaking thread problem with this vid 😞 however, your videos have given me a plethora of valuable information that no simple google search will divulge. Thank you so much for uploading!
I have to say thank you so much for this video!! This was the only video I saw that said anything about the needle plate causing the thread breakage. I had a brand new machine and it just happened to have a small burr on the plate. I was on the verge of returning the machine and saying it was garbage, but a little piece of sand paper and everything works like a dream. Thank you so much for your videos. You are awesome. Living in rural Arizona we don't have a repair shop unless we drive 2 hours. Thank you!!!😊
Wow! I spent most of the day yesterday trying to figure out why my thread kept breaking! So glad I found you. I had never heard of this problem. However I checked your theory and imagine my surprise. There were little rough areas on my plate. Did what you showed and it's been fine ever since. Thank you, thank you!
@@SewingMachineRepairGuyHeLLu Good afternoon from philippines .. i just need your help rigth now because muy singer 2405 sewing machine have a problem from uPPer loose stitch and when i change the neddle for thick fabrics the tread get break
Amazing, rubbed plate as only tiny scratch breaking thread - its works, so pleased thank you. One happy woman in Australia, I can get on with my sewing, thanks a million. . .
Thank you so much. I'm just getting back into sewing and thought that somehow I had forgot how to use a sewing machine. After watching your video I took a look at the plate and the presser foot and noticed roughness. Got some 200 sandpaper to smooth it out and some 2,000 sandpaper to polish it and now I'm back in action and feeling more confident about my ability to use the sewing machine. :) :) :)
Thank you!! .I wouldn't know what I'm doing without this video my thread broke relentlessly on my new Singer 306w I referenced this video & fixed my first sewing problem!
Thanks for the information, I will check out my bobbin case and needle plate. I love Hebrews 11:1 crawling across the bottom of the video. Thanks for that too.🤗❤️🙏🏻
Thank you so much, it was really frustrating to sit to sew and see your thread giving up every time. Infact I started feeling spooky about it that the thread was going in there but coming up broken 💔. It was so annoying that I thought of giving up my sewing project for the day. And your video helped me. Because I had figured out that it's this rough edge on the footer but I never knew it was a needle strike that caused it in first place. And I also din't know how to repair it infact I thought of buying one more footer and check whether it has the same issue. Sewing is fun only when it doesn't trouble.❤
Hi. I just used this method to save my old machine. I don’t think they sell needle plates for my model anymore so this video saved my life! Thanks a lot! On my last project I had bent my needle and since then the machine wasn’t sewing on thicker fabric. This method fixed my machine!! God bless you ❣️
Thank you sooooo much! My machine kept breaking thread during the end of a sewing class. During that class, I used a seam tape to hold two pieces of fabric together until I stitched it together. That’s when the problem of constantly breaking thread started to be apparent. I inspected the needle and it was all gummed up with sticky stuff from the tape. I took my machine home and found your video. Followed your instructions and although I did not have needle strikes anywhere on the plate or the bobbin tray, I did have that gummy glue from the tape in the same area of the bobbin tray you said should be smooth to the touch. I also inspected the plate closely and noticed a stubborn piece of sticky glue in the area that you sanded. I even had sticky stuff underneath the presser foot which probably were working against my feed dogs. So I cleaned it all off really good with a cotton ball and alcohol until all the gummed up sticky stuff was gone and all areas were silky smooth to the touch. I put the machine back together, tested it and BOOM! Perfect stitches with zero broken thread. Thanks again!
love this. so glad i found you. You make me want to get back into sewing. I just gotta figure out the bobbin threading. And still working on thread tension.
hi there, i need you to come to my house & help! LOL JK. anyway i got the birds nest back! Gonna work on it later., Will let you know! Have a blessed day!
THANKS!!! I have adjusted all I can and was having issues. This is what I needed!! I remember when I was plaging tug a war with my sewing machine a few projects ago and have issues ever since. I would not have guessed the thread was catching on the plate! Thanks!
Thank you I fix the problem that I had just by using a nail filer and smoothing the needle plate and the thread stopped ripping ,thank you I was about to buy a new machine 😀
Anybody who is unexperiecend in sewing should be FORCED to watch this, before even getting started. When I made my first attempts in sewing, I had a very fluffy, furry, long haired goat type of fabric. Of course, the fluffs got stuck somewhere between the feed dogs and the needle plate. A bird nest was created, which I couldn‘t see from the top, the fabric didn‘t move any more, the machine started sewing on the spot, which made the bird nest even worse, I started to panic, and forced the fabric through, by pulling it to the back. Result: Bent needle, causing damaged stitch plate, thus: Bent needle shaft, and about 2 yards of thread all over and around the stitch plate, the feed dogs and the bobbin case. On a brand new machine. I obviously learned it the hard way 🙈 which, would I have watched a video like this before, never have happened. Thanks for these very comprehensible and clear explanations. Oh: And whenever you sew fluffy fabric, I highly recommend you put some baking paper between the fabric and the machine.
Sewing Machine Repair Guy Don’t worry, bad experience is a good teacher 😂 When we had to do sewing in school, I wasn’t very successful. The teacher had to teach 26 teenagers aged 13 at a time. There never was any time for any explanation, it consisted basically of „never do this, don’t touch that at all, and do not change anything on the sewing machine!“. I was pretty interested in sewing, but all those warnings scared me off and the machine kind of freaked me out. Especially, when I sewed directly through my finger nail into my finger (here we have another cause for bent and broken needles!). About ten years later, I got my first sewing machine. And ended up totally frustrated, since I had nobody to teach me. And I only got it out about 25 years later, which is 18 months ago. Now thanks to RUclips, I was finally able to chose my own teachers, and have made pretty much progress ever since. Started bag making and quilting, and sewing garments for my dogs (as raincoats and the like). Meanwhile, friends ask ME how to fix problems in sewing. Since I am a big fan of videos, the kind you make them, I am often able to reply. So thank you very much for taking the time and sharing your knowledge, which I appreciate very much. Regards from an old girl from Germany 🇩🇪, home of the famous Pfaff and Dürkopp-Adler
Juki 241h. Machine 28 years old, looks new. I found needle strike damage, burr on hook. Very dry, out of time. Gone over the 13 steeps many times. Thread keeps fraying after going into reverse. You mentioned other places for burrs. Bet there's a burr in the feed dog hole! Thanks!!!
thanks a lot, im just starting on using my machine and picked up some newby tutorials, at first i thought my tension is to high... lol... was set on 1 ... but then i noticed it does thread the cloth/fabric for like 1 or 2 times, then the thread disappears from the needle as it comes up... so something is catching it inside... il do some maintenance tomorrow :D
My machine (Brother ST150HDH) is only a few months old and I just checked it for needle strikes. Relieved to find a smooth needle plate and bobbin area. Might be a different story for my older Brother SQ 9185 I have had for several years and remember a few times I did some tugging trying to keep thick fabric from hanging off the table because the weight would drag fabric under the needle so my stitch line was crooked. I am now using a bigger table. I try to be gentle with my new machine because it sews so nicely. I chose to watch this video because I saw a video recently where they said their thread was frequently breaking. I would have guessed bad cheap thread or not threading properly before seeing your video. Definitely tips I want to remember! Edit: I am a great at spelling - but autocorrect is infuriating.
Guilty! I've bent or broken needles due to some sort of carelessness, and also done damage to the needle plate. Plus I've damaged plastic bobbin cases as well. I've never tried using the sandpaper trick (brilliant idea - thank you!) as a temporary fix until I can replace the damaged part but I've used a trick of my own. I have a specialized set of emery boards having 50 grit up to 280 grit. I use them in a similar fashion to smooth out dings in the needle plate as well as bobbin cases. Poor quality needles also can cause thread breakage. I read somewhere (sorry, don't remember where) that if you're having a problem with thread breakage and have eliminated all other possibilities, get a jeweler's loupe or a VERY strong magnifying glass and examine the eye of your needle. I wasn't sure I believed this until I looked for myself. Surprise! You may just discover that the inner edge of the eye is rough - ergo, thread breakage waiting to happen. So throw that one out and put in a new one.
I didn't know not to pull on the fabric, I often do that just to keep it taunt. Thanks for that tip! Do you think I could use my dremel tool to do some of the sanding or would it be too much? When I cut sandpaper, I use a cheap utility knife (aka box cutter) from the dollar store. Great vid, thanks. Be blessed.
I took my quantum CXL sewing machine to be repaired. I was told that I have to replace the motherboard. Watching your video I hope you can help me decide to buy a new machine or pay for a repair. Does it cost much for a motherboard
Hi Any ideas on how to fix the Reverse button that popped off my JC Penney model 6925 sewing machine. Both the spring behind the push button and the button came off and won’t stay on now.
I am wondering if you could demonstrate how to adust your needle bar. I guess I am assuming its the needle bar that needs to be adjusted. I am on a brother cs7000 and my need is rubbing the hook as it is coming up and there fore breaking my thread or making it come unthreaded.
Hi. By any chance you notice a very thin tear on the bobbin case( like a paper tear like cut on your finger) . You notice thread sticking in that crack/tear, in this case bobbin case has to be replaced?
Fashion mate 252. Yesterday my tension was set on 3.5 and everything seemed fine. After sewing, I could pull the material out to cut the thread and not feel like the thread was going to break. But now, with a tension of ONE (1.0), I can barely pull the thread down after threading the machine without feeling like it's going to break. And sometimes it does break when sewing. The only variable that my novice eyes can see are the tension disks. Maybe it's the way I'm adjusting the disks. So yesterday, I feel like I had beginners luck. FRUSTRATING.
My sewing machine hates me! I think it wants a divorce! After spending over a year to make it work properly, I'm about to grant the divorce, uncontested!

Hi there, I have an unusual problem and I don't even know how to describe it. I have an older (but not antique) Eva Midinette 85 Super. My thread keeps being strangled on the part where you do the 'down and then back up' thing, with that thin wire inside that goes up and down depending on depending on whether you're actually sewing or not. I've been trying to fix it all day and am at my wits end. No googling has describes this part even, not even my manual has a word for this part; it's just generalized with the other threading bits :/ I had the machine fixed up by a professional, and it's been running fantastic since... up until today. :(
Thanks for the video. I have a problem where the top thread is getting stuck to the sharp edge (which seems to be bent) on the device that the top-loading bobbin casing sits on. It is plastic (Kenmore 380.19112900). Is that part replaceable and where would I find it? I've looked everywhere online but no luck. Thank you.
I have a econosew juki 360 jc brand new industrial machine . Since minute one this machine is breaking the thread THAT COMES OUT OF THE BOBBIN not the top thread… My mechanic has going around but never fix it
Hello I have a singer talent sewing machine and this machines problem is that the tension gear is not adjust to properly actually I can't adjust the gear of tension so plz help me to solve the issue of my machine
my take up lever (i think thats what ya call it) is not level so i have to put the thread in manually. SHall i unscrew machine top to see if i can fix? just putting it out there.
Why does my thread fray and then snap. I change the needle, I have the correct distance from needle to hook, The stitch locks in the centers,so as far as I know the tensions are correct, There`s no nicks on the hook,neither needle eye, There`s no nicks on the race, Its bonded nylon thread, with a leather needle sewing through two soft pieces of leather, about 1 mm thick folded making 2 mm thickness, Quite often well nearly every time sewing for about 20 stitches the hand wheel jams I look down at my material I see frayed cotton and I cannot pull the material away because the thread has got really tight underneath the material and some times above, I have also notice on a few occasions quite often actually `where the thread is meant to slip over the shuttle then meant to come over through the gap at the back end of the shuttle , My cotton some times is getting jammed there causing the hand wheel to jam, as I use the machine with out the motor, So the thread is getting caught some times jamming the shuttle against the race ,and the thread is fraying and then most of the time snapping,on other occasions, Its a SINGER twin needle 7 class possibly a 7-38 `year it was made 1932 big old thing but only using one needle at the moment,trying to work out the fault the shuttle and hook is similar type to a COWBOY CB 3200 machine, Any advice that comes to mind why the thread is getting jammed in that spot and to why the thread is fraying after sewing 20 stitches,
My thread keeps popping out of the needle while sewing and I can't finish my project.😵💫😵💫😵💫Help❗my needle breaks or bends...My machine is model 50T8 singer..

Do you think I could use my dremel tool to do some of the sanding or would it be too much?
When I cut sandpaper, I use a cheap utility knife (aka box cutter) from the dollar store.
Great vid, thanks. Be blessed.
Dremel may be too harsh, also could leave grooves. The sandpaper leaves a flatter surface.
Thats what I was afraid of.
I use an emery board. Just the cheap ones. I can fold it in half lengthwise if I need it to be skinnier for some areas. Works pretty good.
I took my quantum CXL sewing machine to be repaired.

Hi there, I have an unusual problem and I don't even know how to describe it. I have an older (but not antique) Eva Midinette 85 Super. My thread keeps being strangled on the part where you do the 'down and then back up' thing, with that thin wire inside that goes up and down depending on depending on whether you're actually sewing or not. I've been trying to fix it all day and am at my wits end. No googling has describes this part even, not even my manual has a word for this part; it's just generalized with the other threading bits :/ I had the machine fixed up by a professional, and it's been running fantastic since... up until today. :(
You are awesome !!
Fill the divet with nail polish. Light sand after.
fab fab fab thanx I don't have this problem but I use nail polish for lots of things, mostly touch up and bead work, and now I have another. Thanx
Thank you. I wonder if I've been tugging in an effort to smooth unwieldy fabrics.
My swing m’échine is jaming a lot on both sides. Any help and advise please? Thanks
is the bobbin case supposed to rock? it makes a sound near the bobbin and then it breaks
Thanks for the video. I have a problem where the top thread is getting stuck to the sharp edge (which seems to be bent) on the device that the top-loading bobbin casing sits on. It is plastic (Kenmore 380.19112900). Is that part replaceable and where would I find it? I've looked everywhere online but no luck. Thank you.
vielen vielen dank mein hobby ist nähe aber immer fade reisst du hast gesagt stichplate etwas schleifen und mein nähe maschien wie neu danke
I filed down my needle plate but thread still keeps breaking. What else can I check to fix this problem?
Actually, cutting through fine sandpaper sharpens your scissors. ❤️
CAN YOU PLEASE HELPME WITH MY MANUAL CRANK LEATHER SEWING MACHINE.?
are there any other reasons why the thread keeps breaking?
my machine is a vintage treadle
Replace the needle and don't use vintage thread.
I have a econosew juki 360 jc brand new industrial machine .
Since minute one this machine is breaking the thread THAT COMES OUT OF THE BOBBIN not the top thread…
My mechanic has going around but never fix it
what about using a "DRUMEL" tool with a grinder wheel and simply enlarge the whole?
Please make more videos.
I got a vintage domestic 468 and the top thread keeps breaking, I don't have a manual, so I'm learning blind

I had LU 1560N-7 JUKI DOUBLE needle machine while backtacking on thickness area thread cut occurs kindly support me...
Why does my thread fray and then snap.
I change the needle,
I have the correct distance from needle to hook,
The stitch locks in the centers,so as far as I know the tensions are correct,
There`s no nicks on the hook,neither needle eye,
There`s no nicks on the race,
Its bonded nylon thread, with a leather needle sewing through two soft pieces of leather, about 1 mm thick folded making 2 mm thickness,
Quite often well nearly every time sewing for about 20 stitches the hand wheel jams I look down at my material I see frayed cotton and I cannot pull the material away because the thread has got really tight underneath the material and some times above,
I have also notice on a few occasions quite often actually `where the thread is meant to slip over the shuttle then meant to come over through the gap at the back end of the shuttle ,
My cotton some times is getting jammed there causing the hand wheel to jam, as I use the machine with out the motor,
So the thread is getting caught some times jamming the shuttle against the race ,and the thread is fraying and then most of the time snapping,on other occasions,
Its a SINGER twin needle 7 class possibly a 7-38 `year it was made 1932 big old thing but only using one needle at the moment,trying to work out the fault the shuttle and hook is similar type to a COWBOY CB 3200 machine,
Any advice that comes to mind why the thread is getting jammed in that spot and to why the thread is fraying after sewing 20 stitches,
Cutting sandpaper or aluminum foil with scissors actually is a way to sharpen them up.
Darn I’m guilty of tagging!!
u lurn some every day, never taught about those things.
Top thread comes off needle right after you start ti sew why
My thread keeps popping out of the needle while sewing and I can't finish my project.😵💫😵💫😵💫Help❗my needle breaks or bends...My machine is model 50T8 singer..
An emory board or a metal nail file will work just fine. Let th tool do the work.
Good content but maybe too much repitition. I like your channel. :)
😂😂But it helped someone
My thread only breaks in reverse.

I use an emery board ( fingernail file) lol

Good advice but TOO slow. I had to listen at double speed and it was still too long.
