Possible cause:
Sewing was started with no fabric under the presser foot.
Solution: Place fabric under foot, making sure that needle comes down into fabric; lightly hold both thread tails for first
few stitches.
Possible cause: Stabilizer may be needed for technique.
Solution: Place stabilizer underneath fabric.
Upper Thread Breaking
Possible cause: Thread path obstructed
Solution: Check if thread is caught on thread spool (rough spots on the spool itself) or behind spool pin or spool cap (if
the thread has fallen behind the spool cap and therefore cannot feed freely through the machine path).

Solution:
Remove upper thread completely, raise presser foot lifter, rethread machine making sure thread is in take-up
lever (raise take up lever to its highest position by turning hand wheel toward you).
