• If all the cables are plugged in securely then check to see if the foot pedal is plugged into the machine if it is not then plug it in

• If the sewing machine turns off and on while you are sewing then there is a loose connection and you need to make sure that all the connections are plugged in properly

• I your thread keeps breaking then pull the thread out ad rethread the machine and make sure it is threaded properly

• Check your needle and make sure that it has been inserted properly as the needle needs to be pushed up into the needle clamp securely and the screw must be tightened because f it not then the needle will slip down while you are sewing

• If your upper thread keeps breaking it means your tension is too tight and you need to set the tension lower on your tension dial

• If the lower thread keeps breaking then adjust the tension on your bobbin shuttle
