Probable Cause Remedy
Correctly install the needle.
Replace and use recommended needle.
Consult your nearest authorized
Brother dealer.
Replace the needle.
Check the thread path, and then thread
the upper thread again.
Correctly thread the bobbin thread.
Adjust the tension of the bobbin thread.
Use a correctly wound bobbin.
Replace the needle.
Correctly thread the bobbin thread.
Clean the tension unit. Correctly pass
the thread through the thread tension
disc. If the broken thread error occurs
after the machine is cleaned and
rethreaded, the sensor may be
damaged. Consult your nearest
authorized Brother dealer.
Replace the needle. Dull needles have
a difficult time passing through the
garment, causing fabrics to tear.
The simple penetration of the needle
could damage delicate fabrics. Use
stabilizer on top of fabric.
Adjust the tension according to the type
of fabric and thread being used.
Polyester thread will stretch during
sewing especially if the tensions are set
too high. After the stitching is complete,
the thread returns to its original
strength, causing puckers in the fabric.
Replace the needle.
Tightly frame non-stretchable, woven
fabrics. Loose framing will cause the
fabric to bunch up under the stitching.
Tautly frame soft knits using a stable
backing. Overstretching the garment
will cause it to look puckered when the
frame is removed.
Re-digitize the pattern with fill stitching
or with multiple rows of column
stitching.
Too many stitches in an area pull
fabric, causing it to pucker.
Check the steps for threading the
machine and rethread it correctly.
Check the method for attaching the
spool cap, then reattach the spool cap.
Correctly install the bobbin thread.
Correctly pass the thread through the
bobbin winding thread guide.
Press [+] in the bobbin winding
window to increase the bobbin
winding speed.
Wind the thread that was pulled off
around the bobbin 5 or 6 times
clockwise.
