Answer 1

Maybe you don't have enough thread pulled through the needle when you start to sew.. I have at least 5-6 inches pulled out before starting..

Answer 3

Machine embroidery thread is not sturdy enough for making seams. You should use polyester thread for machine and hand sewing. Do not use thread described as for sewing buttons or hand stitching a quilt as these have a wax-like glaze that can cause a problem with the sewing machine. The racks of thread you find at a fabric store, like JoAnn will have the description of the thread. Poly has a little stretch to it and cotton does not and this is why poly is better for making wearables and cotton for quilts and things not wearable. However, you can use either poly or cotton without any problems.

Answer 4

Make sure the thread is going through the cams near where the needle pumper is up at the top, the thing that takes the needle up and down. And made sure you have a long tail sticking out of the needle.
