What should I do if the machine is skipping stitches?

If your Brother XL-6452 is skipping stitches, check if the needle is bent or dull and replace it if necessary. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and securely. Also, verify that the thread is threaded properly and that the tension is set correctly for the fabric you are using.

Can I sew heavy fabrics with the Brother XL-6452?

The Brother XL-6452 can handle medium to heavy fabrics. Use a heavier needle and adjust the presser foot pressure if needed. Test on a scrap piece first to ensure the settings are correct for your fabric.

What should I do if the machine is making unusual noises?

Unusual noises may indicate a need for cleaning or that something is improperly set. Turn off the machine and check for any obstructions or tangled threads in the bobbin area. Ensure all parts are properly lubricated and re-thread the machine.
