Messy stitching
If the stitching on top is rough or frays, one of these issues may be the root of the problem.
Incorrect bobbin tension
The bobbin needs to be tensioned correctly for stitching to come out correctly.
Damaged bobbin
The bobbin may be bent or damaged and need replacement.
Dull or bent needle
If the needle is bent, broken, or dull, the machine will stitch incorrectly. You may need to replace the needle.
Fabric gets ruffled when sewing
If your fabric is getting ruffled or bunched while feeding through the machine, one of these issues may be the cause.
Damaged presser foot lowering mechanism
The lowering mechanism provides compression to the presser foot. If your presser foot is not lowering completely and evenly, you may need to replace the presser foot lowering mechanism.
Damaged presser foot
The presser foot holds the fabric in place, and if it's damaged the fabric may not smoothly pass through the machine. You may need to replace the presser foot.
Sewing machine won't turn on
Does your machine simply not turn on? One of these may be the root cause.
Foot pedal/power cord are unplugged
If the machine won't turn on, check to see if the foot pedal is plugged into the wall and the machine.
Damaged power switch
Press the power switch and nothing happens? You may need to replace the power switch.
Light won't turn on
Does the sewing light not turn on? This section may have your answer.
Burnt out lightbulb
If your light bulb won't turn on, it is likely you need to replace the lightbulb.

I think my se400 blew up. I m not in the US. I think our electricity voltage blew the machine up because the step down wasn't applied. Pls how do I fix this?
Thank you

Hello, my needle will not pick up bobbin thread. Seems to hook up on bobbin sleeve. Rethreaded, changed bobbin, changed needle

I have a Brother Innovis ns1150e. It wasn’t opening my applique patterns at normal size (4x6). Found out I had old software 1.01, so I downloaded the upgrade from the Brother site. Upgrade went perfectly. Turned on machine, pattern was at correct size. Went to snap in my hoop and it went black. The machine is dead. Unplugged & re-plugged power cord. Will not turn on. I’m trying to start an embroidery business so I can’t afford to lose my machine. Anyone hear of this happening? And know how to fix it?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Brother XR3140 will not get out of zig zag. It’s like the computer needs reset
