Machines and thread
Thread break, explained
Change the needle first, since a worn, bent or wrong-size needle is a frequent cause, then rethread from the spool with the presser foot up and check that the spool feeds freely. Breaks that keep happening in the same spot often mean that area is too dense or has very short stitches. Many machines stop on a break and let you step back a few stitches before carrying on; the thread breaking guide goes through the causes in order.
