Bobbin Thread Breaking?

Question:
I love sewing with your MasterPiece prewound bobbins but once in a while, the bobbin thread breaks. Any suggestions?
Answer:
This is usually an easy fix. If the bobbin thread is breaking, here is what to do:
1. With a permanent marker, mark a dot on the bobbin case where the
bobbin screw is currently pointing to. This is to remind you where you
started.
2. Loosen the bobbin tension by turning the bobbin tension screw by 1/4
turn. Turn to the left (counter clockwise).
That should take care of it. Many machines are set to have a very strong
polyester thread in the bobbin and therefore need to be adjusted for a
fine cotton thread.
