My last machine had a problem breaking thread and coming unthreaded. Does this one do that?

no but I had a problem with the plastic bobber holder it broke an it wasn't even 3 months old , so be aware of plastic parts , the old model was better

The machine has never jammed for me, but I only use it occasionally. Sorry, I'm no help. Perhaps you can contact their customer relations department. Sometimes I even find information/demonstrations on Youtube. Good luck!

I'd like to know the exact same thing?! My brand new machine is doing this as well.

I have not had any issues with my machine. I'm sorry that I can not help you.

Have not tired but as long as the adapter on the bottom has the same threading it should be fine. My experience with Amazon order it and if it does not work u can return no hassles!

no, it does not have the fine threads... it only has regular threads. Hope this helps. I'm having to send mine back :(

It doesn't have a start thread like plastic spools, but I didn't have any problem finding the beginning of the thread and I've used several of the spools.

First, contact the manufacturer, and also check the exchange policy. If that fails try WD-40, back-threading and gently re-threading.CJE

Hello, I have used the thread on my Vicking. These are NOT high quality. Some of the colors break easy or split while embroidering. Not all of them, but enough to be annoying. To use I have to set the speed of the machine to the lowest speed and keep a close eye on it.

Nah, it didn't break it. I let the machine cool down for about an hour and it worked fine afterward. It's still going strong 6 months later and I use it about once a week.

I had no issues with mine. If it got put on a little cock-eyed and the threads aren't lined up right, it could seem stuck. I wish I could help. Maybe a local camera store could give you more help without ruining your threads. Good luck.

No, I've never had a problem with this machine (so far) Maybe it is just your machine and you should ask the mfg. to replace it? I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems.

Does your thread break at the needle, have you tried different thread, or is it the bobbins, I would try a different bobbin

I had zero problems. May be a defective screw or it has been crossthreaded.

I don't think there is a choice when buying bobbin thread other than the weight and even then you may only have a choice of black or white. When you run out of thread or the thread breaks, you have to back up a few stitches past the break/end of bobbin and start from there..........it can happen to anyone unless the machine has a low bobbin indicator.

I just got this machine and set it up last night. It was delivered with 4 regular-sized spools of thread with not much thread on the spools. Already threaded. I will tie new threads on to each as suggested and use the hand wheel to advance them through the needles. I was forewarned not to let the thread run out so I don't have to rethread. (Though looking at it, it's clear where the threads go and perhaps it's not that difficult on this machine? Time will tell, I'm sure.) I'm a little worried the delivered spools will run out quickly, so haven't run the serger yet -- will install new spools before trying. Order thread or buy it before the serger is delivered. (Someone on a diff question suggested one site to buy. Hancock's has Maxi-lock on sale these two weeks.) Remember you need 4 spools to run full - that will be 4 white spools at a time, for instance! Even on sale it adds up! I did read that one can even use a bobbin for small jobs; that a bobbin would hold enough thread for perhaps one small tee? There's something called a Bob'n Serge - a little tray with small pins for 5 bobbins that fits on one of the pins. Mixed reviews, found 2 who really love it, some who said why bother. If you're only serging a little, makes sense. I also saw an expert who piggy backs sequential bobbins without cutting the thread between? Lots to explore. HTH.

Not being a geek, I don't know what you mean by "4 threads". I do know that it is fast. I am running windows 7 pro. on a ssd hard driveand have a boot time of less than 30 seconds.
