Bobbin Thread Breaking

  1. Take the bobbin out. Clean bobbin case. Insert the bobbin again and re-thread.
  2. If re-threading doesn't help - try to take a new bobbin.

Tip:
Must say that our suffering with bobbin thread breakage ended happily the moment we started using pre-wound bobbins. Apparently, factory made bobbins are winded much better than home made ones.

At least this is correct for several popular machines like Husqvarna Designer series & Brother ULTs. We suspect that this should be similar with other machines, too.

Anyway, we've come to conclusion that it's better, cheaper and a lot more pleasant to use quality pre-wounds than to wind bobbins. We're huge fans of plastic sided bobbins, and sideless also work very well.
