Brother PR655 F.A.Q.

How do I properly thread the Brother PR655 embroidery machine?

To thread the Brother PR655, start by raising the presser foot and setting the spool of thread on the spool pin. Follow the threading path as indicated on the machine, ensuring the thread passes through the tension discs and the needle. Finally, pull a few inches of thread through the needle's eye.

What should I do if the machine needle breaks frequently?

Frequent needle breakage can be caused by incorrect needle type, improper needle installation, or fabric thickness. Ensure you are using the correct needle for your fabric, that the needle is inserted correctly, and adjust the thread tension and speed for thicker materials.

How can I clean and maintain the Brother PR655?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning lint from the bobbin case area, changing the needle after every project or every 8 hours of use, and occasionally oiling the machine as per the user manual. Always turn off and unplug the machine before cleaning.

Why is my embroidery design not aligning properly?

Misalignment can be due to improper hooping, fabric slippage, or incorrect design settings. Ensure the fabric is tightly hooped without stretching. Double-check your design settings and consider using stabilizer material to prevent fabric movement.

How can I resolve tension issues on the Brother PR655?

Tension issues may arise from incorrect threading or bobbin placement. Re-thread the machine, ensuring the thread is properly seated in the tension discs. Adjust the top tension settings gradually and test on scrap fabric until the stitch quality is satisfactory.

What steps should I follow to update the machine's firmware?

To update the firmware, download the latest version from the Brother website onto a USB drive. Insert the USB into the machine's port, navigate to the settings menu, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update. Ensure the machine is connected to a stable power source during the update.

How do I troubleshoot thread looping on the underside of the fabric?

Thread looping on the underside is often caused by incorrect top thread tension. Ensure the machine is properly threaded, the thread is securely in the tension discs, and adjust the top tension gradually. Verify that the bobbin is correctly placed and wound.

What should I do if the machine stops mid-design?

If the machine stops unexpectedly, check for thread breaks or jams. Re-thread the machine and bobbin, clear any jams, and resume the design. Ensure the machine is not set to pause at color changes or for manual trimming.

How can I improve the stitch quality on complex designs?

Improving stitch quality can be achieved by using the correct needle and thread for your fabric, ensuring the fabric is properly stabilized, and adjusting the machine's speed settings. Test stitch on a similar fabric to fine-tune settings before starting on the final piece.

How do I change the needle on the Brother PR655?

To change the needle, turn off the machine and use a screwdriver to loosen the needle clamp screw. Remove the old needle and insert a new one with the flat side facing the back. Tighten the screw securely and check that the needle is seated correctly.
