Whether you make garments for your family or run your own quilting business, it’s important that your sewing machine stay in tip-top condition. Fortunately, it is fairly simple to identify and fix some of the most common issues with sewing machines. This guide outlines the most common issues sewing supply store teams hear from their customers.

4 Reasons You Might Need Sewing Machine Repairs

1. Thread Jams

If your thread often gets stuck in the machine, then your needle and fabric may not be the right size. If you rule this out and continue to have these problems, you might need to replace your spool cap, or line your existing cap with felt to help it spin.

2. Odd Noises

3. Oil Leaks

Even high-quality sewing machines need a little oiling every now and then in order to function efficiently. However, if you have been using too much oil or applying the substance improperly, it may start to leak out on your fabric. In this case, allow the experts to professionally clean it. 

4. Needle Breaks

This is one of the most frequently occurring sewing machine issues of all. If you double-check the size and type of your needle and still have trouble, then the sensors may be blocked by dust and thread debris, or your machine has been knocked out of time. Bring it to the professionals for a good tuneup and cleaning.
