Why does my embroidery machine keep breaking thread?

Frequent thread breaks can come from several causes, including a damaged or unsuitable needle, incorrect threading, unsuitable thread tension, a rough thread guide, problems around the rotary hook or poor-quality or damaged thread. Start with the simple checks first: replace the needle, rethread the machine and inspect the thread path before making larger tension adjustments.
