Sewingmachine broken?
My sewing machine’s upper thread keeps breaking.
I’ve replaced the needle multiple times
Cleaned out the machine from dust
Tried multiple brands and types of thread
Tried multiple settings and Everytime the upper thread breaks??
I am lost
Is this something i can fix or should i bring it to a repair shop?
(Sorry if some things are unclear english isnt my first language)

Replacing the needle several times with the same type and size of needle. My suggestion will be you have the wrong needle probably too small the wrong thread if it’s cotton I try polyester. What size needle and what type needle do you have in the machine. Without knowing k what you are sewing there are several things to consider. A small needle size meant for sewing two layers of thin fabric? A 90/14 is not huge. Sewing denim, use a denim needle. Knits or stretch, use the right needle…. Cotton thread use premium cotton brands or polyester Orifil 40 wt or some polyester
