SOURCE: needle keeps breaking the top thread...
In general, there are three main causes for this...
wrong needles (Singer), low quality thread (dual duty or all purpose), incorrect threading. Be sure to thread the needle from front to back.
SOURCE: My needle thread doesn't break, but when I go to sew, it unthreads itself.
make sure to keep long thread tail for the top & bobbin
of 4 to 6 inches & pulled behind the needle
SOURCE: Kenmore sewing machine jams and breaks the needle
always make sure the needle is inserted correctly and all the way
up into the needle holder
try a different bobbin
make sure the bobbin is turned the right way in the bobbin case
make sure the bobbin case is inserted correctly in to the machine
if it's a front or side loading bobbin case
make sure the top thread has not come off the top thread take up
