Thread breaks are caused by one of quite a number of reasons on any machine. It could be that there is a burr on the needle plate or along the thread path that is fraying the thread or the needle might be damaged or not seated properly. Another common reason is that the cone of thread has aged and rotted or the thread is simply not traveling in the proper path. And one issue that causes thread breaks, most especially in winter months or in naturally dry environments is a lack of humidity. Use a humidity gauge to determine the humidity around the machine and when the gauge drops below 25, run a humidifier to maintain the humidity up to an average of 30-40 percent.
