Conversely, if the tension is too loose, your stitches will appear sloppy and inconsistent. There is the right tension to help your design come out to perfection!

Dealing with Needle Breakage

However, another issue that can occur is needle breakage. It can be really irritating when the needle breaks! If a needle becomes broken, it will ruin your embroidery machine for hoodies design and may impede your project from finishing.


If you're too much under pressure needle will break, so you have to be careful of this. Needles that are too big or too small for your materials will break.

If your needle is bent or has a sharp edge, you may want to replace it with another new needle. Following these steps will not only keep your needle safe, but your projects on track.

Perhaps the most common issue that can arise with sewing machines is a jam.

Machine jams and skipped stitches are trucklier problems that can occur with singlehead embroidery machines. A machine jam is an interruption that can happen during the sewing process when your fabric or your thread gets caught or tangled up in the machine. This can prevent your machine from operating as expected. 


To solve machine jams, try first leaking the fabric from the machine. Thread up the machine and make sure the thread is not snagging anywhere in the fabric. You should be able to gently tug on the thread and have it slide freely. If it doesn’t, there may be a knot that needs untying. For skipped stitches, ensure your needle isn’t dull/bent. A duller needle may have difficulty retrieving the bobbin thread. If even this doesn't work, you might try to either move the needle over a little bit or change the needle size. These adjustments should help prevent jams and skip stitches.

Fixing Bobbin Thread Issues

Single-headed embroidery machines can also experience bobbin thread tangles and snags. These only happen when the bobbin thread is not properly wound or there are dust and rubbish in the bobbin area. Snags occur when the bobbin thread is snagged on something in the interior of the machine. This is problematic for your embroidery project.


Begin by rewinding the bobbin thread to mend the tangles and snags. Check that the bobbin is inserted properly into the bobbin case. The bobbin not being in the right place when sewing can cause some trouble. You should also get dirt or debris out of the bobbin area. Remove any dust with a small brush or cloth. As long as the bobbin thread is wound properly and the bobbin area is clean, these tangles and snags can be avoided.

Correcting Digitizing Errors

Digitizing mistakes by some digitizers can create problems even with single-head embroidery machines. Digitizing errors occur in the following circumstances when the embroidery design is not made right and the image starts to misalign and appear funny, or distorted.


If dimensional faults occur based on digitizing errors, the solution is re-digitizing wherein it is done by the embroidery software. This software makes modifying incredibly easy. Organize correct alignment and centering of the design, before you begin the embroidery. You might also be able to resize the design or change the way tight or loose the stitches are to compensate for some of this weirdness. So, do take time to correct these mistakes; it’ll make your design shine.


The writing is on the wall: single-head embroidery machines are prone to several problems including thread tension problems, needle breakage, machine jams, bobbin thread tangle, and digitizing problems. These simple troubleshooting tips help keep your embroidery projects up and running, and looking great.
