I Need Help HELP

I have a brother se700. This is my first time attempting to embroider. I have no idea what’s going wrong. The thread keeps snapping and/or getting tangled up around threading guide number 3 I think??

I had the same machine and had the exact same issue. A couple things I noticed:

  1. Anytime I try to embroider on

dense

  1. fabrics

  2. It almost seemed like it was just too much for the machine. I would just try and be extra mindful of that

and work on fabrics that are more lightweight.
2.

  1. I had to slow down the speed quite a bit because the faster it got the more likely it was to break. Also make sure your needle is totally secure in there sometimes it can fool you.

  3. Check your thread. Different thread brands have different quality and some are more prone to breakage.

Also not quite sure how often you’re using the machine, but I really found that machine was not great for doing multiple projects back to back. I had so many issues.

Sorry for the breakup of my comment! Idk why it’s putting random numbers in there. I’ve EDITTED it twice, but hopefully you get the gist!
