Cotton breaks on Brother Embroidery Galaxie 2100 machine


i have a Brother Galaxie Embroidery 2100 machine, when I try to do some embroidery my cotton keeps breaking, which is very frustrating. I have bought red tipped needles and it still does it. I am using embroidery cotton which is a few years old. It does not seem to do it as much with ordinary sewing. Can somebody please help.

Try turning down your top tension setting a bit. If its at 4 or 5, i would turn it down to about 3 ish. Cotton thread is more brittle than polyester and rayon thread.

Hope that helps :)

Does anyone have a spare embroidery frame for a super galaxie 895? Tried everywhere!! Someone please help. Brother won't help me

Find a brother dealer on eBay that sells parts...contact a promising seller to see if they have your machine and/ or parts. They don't always list all their inventory, but better a needle in a haystack then in a whole field!

DISNEY BROTHER SE-270D COMPUTER SEWING & EMBRIODERY

but is the carriage moving,? if not disconnect and try to connect again, the embroidery hoop holder usually moves to check itself, if it still does the same thing the connection that goes onto the machine is not making a proper connection, I also had this problem, with a 2100 brother , I fixed it by using a crochet hook and just tightening the connection that connects to the machine on the embroidery unit, but tread very carefully it just takes a slight move. if this fails it will have to be adjusted cost is usually $100au
