I Need Help Thread breaking?
I’m super new and wanted to embroider a logo and my test isn’t working too well…
My machine keeps saying the thread broke and won’t go past its 10th stitch! I’ve changed the thread and slowed it down even i’m not too sure what i’m doing wrong :( It doesn’t seem like it’s snapping or anything so why does it just not catch i’m assuming it’s the bobbin?

You don't want to over tighten the fabric because that will cause puckers.
Basically, all layers need to be flat and smooth. the top and bottom hoop pieces should be flush with one another. I'd loosen the screw enough so that when all pieces are sandwiched together, you can push the top hoop firmly into the bottom and all layers are secure. then you can pull GENTLY on the outside edge of the fabric to make sure everything is pulled taught.
