There are some simple solutions to keep them to a minimum.  \nThere are actually many elements that can cause thread breaks such as:  \n1) For the top thread,  \na) there is a scratch on the hole of the top plate;  \nb) the machine is not threaded correctly;  \nc) the thread is trapped under the spool;  \nd) the wrong needle selection has been made;  \ne) there is oil or dust in the bobbin case;  \nf) the needle is bent, dull or inserted incorrectly;  \ng) the upper thread is knotted or tangled;  \nh) the thread is too large for the eye of the needle;  \ni) the upper tension is too tight;  \nj) the rotary hook is rough or damaged.  \nk) and the list goes on…  \n2) For the bobbin thread:  \na) the bobbin is inserted incorrectly;  \nb) the bobbin tension is too tight  \nc) the bobbin is incorrectly wound  \nd) the upper thread is tangled.  \ne) and the list goes on…. .  \nThe following are ways to eradicate the problems:  \nTHREAD:  \na) Thread tension. Upper thread tension should be no more than 100 to 150 grams. Bobbin tension should be no more than 25 to 35 grams. Refer to our TIPS FOR ADJUSTING THREAD TENSION. Thread tension should be checked from time to time.  \nb) Change thread cone. Problem could be coming from the bad production lot of that particular thread or the thread cones have been kept in a bad storage condition.  \nc) Check thread path to find areas where thread touches that can cause friction and abrasions that can cause thread to break.  \nd) Check whether it is actually a thread break or just a thread pull out. Thread pull out usually occurs after the thread is trim.  \ne) If thread breaks occur abruptly without fraying, check to see if the thread is getting caught under the cone on the thread rack. Also make sure the thread dispenses vertically off the cone. If thread leaves the cone at an angle, it could cause breakage.  \nNEEDLE:  \na) Try replacing the needle.  \nb) Look for burrs or rough edges in the presser foot, holes in the needle plate and finally the rotary hook-point and castoff  \nc) Adjust the needle depth.  \nd) Check the timing of the rotation of the rotary hook or in other words hooktiming to avoid the needle hitting the bobbin case before it should.  \ne) Check bobbin quality. Worn or damaged bobbin cases also can cause topthread breakage. Try using a new bobbin case.  \nDIGITIZING:  \na) Check for the stitch length in certain parts of the design. If the stitch length is too short, thread breaks can occur. If designs are digitized with no stitches shorter than .60 mm and none longer than 9 mm, thread will not break.  \nb) Check for the density of the design. If the density is too much, it can prevent needle penetration and so the thread can break.  \nc) Each part of the design should be LOCKED and FIXED with stitches to prevent unraveling. This will also prevent the thread from pulling out of the needle at startup and at stop.  \nFABRIC:  \nCertain fabrics also can cause thread breaks. Materials such as low-melt polyester or polypropylene foam, found in mesh-back baseball caps and canvas bags, can melt under the heat of the needle and gum up the needle's eye. Materials made from blended nylon fibers, which are found in products such as carpeted mats, are abrasive against sewing threads.  \nIn the end everything should depend on the operator’s analytic skills. If the operator is on the look out during the sewing of the design, he can immediately figure out whether its an actual thread break or if its just the thread pull out.  \nThe operator can test several points by pulling on the upper thread as it passes through the needle's eye and the presser foot. He should check tension and texture and identify problems with the cone, thread path, thread quality and needle.  \nThe operator should check thread tension, needle orientation, bobbin quality ","cbCaipEErNZuOlr3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipEErNZuOlr3","pdf",14231,"English","# Causes of Thread Breaks\n## Top Thread Causes\n## Bobbin Thread Causes\n# Solutions by Component\n## Thread Tension and Thread Path\n## Needle Checks\n## Digitizing Parameters\n## Fabric Considerations\n# Operator Diagnostic Workflow","[{\"question\":\"What are the main causes of top-thread thread breaks in embroidery?\",\"answer\":\"Common causes include scratches on the top plate hole, incorrect threading, trapped thread under the spool, wrong needle selection, oil or dust in the bobbin case, bent or incorrectly inserted needles, tangled upper thread, excessive thread size for the needle eye, too-tight upper tension, and rough or damaged rotary hook surfaces.\"},{\"question\":\"How should thread tension be adjusted to prevent breaks?\",\"answer\":\"Upper thread tension should be no more than 100–150 grams, and bobbin tension no more than 25–35 grams, with tension checks performed periodically.\"},{\"question\":\"Which digitizing settings help avoid thread breaks?\",\"answer\":\"Use stitch lengths with no shorter than 0.60 mm and none longer than 9 mm, keep design density from being too high to ensure proper needle penetration, and LOCK and FIX each design part with stitches to prevent unraveling and pull-outs at startup/stop.\"}]","TIPS FOR AVOIDING THREAD BREAKS - Troubleshooting Guide | PDF"]
