Which size of needle you can best use depends on the thickness of the fabric you use. With a thick fabric you should use a thick needle. The packaging of your needle states for which substances your needle is suitable.
Generally, a sewing needle lasts about 7 to 9 hours.

Ensure that the machine is threaded correctly, with the upper thread properly placed in the tension discs and through the needle eye. Also, check the bobbin case to ensure it is correctly inserted and that the bobbin thread is unwinding smoothly.
The tension can be adjusted using the tension dial located on the front of the machine. To increase tension, turn the dial towards a higher number, and to decrease tension, turn it towards a lower number. Remember to test on scrap fabric to find the right tension for your specific project.
Start by turning off the machine and disconnecting the power supply. Loosen the needle clamp screw using a screwdriver, remove the old needle, and replace it with a new one. Make sure the flat side of the needle is facing the back and that it is inserted all the way up into the needle clamp. Finally, tighten the needle clamp screw securely.
Stitches may skip if the needle is bent, dull, or not inserted correctly. First, ensure that the needle is properly inserted and tightened. If the problem persists, try replacing the needle with a new one. Additionally, check the stitch length and adjust it if necessary. Finally, make sure you are using the appropriate needle for the fabric you are sewing.
Regular maintenance is important for optimal performance. Start by unplugging the machine. Use a small brush or lint brush to remove any lint, dust, or loose thread from the bobbin area, feed dogs, and around the needle. You can also wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Remember to oil the machine as per the manufacturer's instructions to keep the moving parts lubricated.

Question and answer
Number of questions: 114My Singer Brilliance is skipping stitches. I have already changed the needle, bought new thread, and tried to clean everything, what else can I do? I am using Gütermann thread.

Whenever my machine skips stitches it is nearly always needs a clean underneath
The problem is that the bobbin thread is not being picked up and cannot be lifted up. The bobbin and co. are cleaned and reassembled - nothing. Thread tension checked. Everything is okay. Needle replaced as well. It simply does not want to sew. Until now, I never had any problems. Help.

@Ingrid seems your machine timing might be off somehow. Make sure new needle is installed high enough.
Hello, what is this symbol and how do I remove it? Sewing not possible!

@Chrissa Efremidis This is bobbin winding mode. Move bobbin pin to left to resume sewing.
Before first use, my sewing machine displays "JC" on the screen, it cannot be changed. How can I start it up?

@Dirwehlis are you sure it's not in bobbin winding mode?
@Dirwehlis Did the bobbin thread break?
Hello, what is this symbol and how does it go away? Sewing not possible!

@A. Roth the symbol is a bobbin. Did you wind one before sewing? Check bobbin pin like suggested above.
Hello everyone! My machine shows error C2 when I try to sew a buttonhole, can you help me? Thank you very much, Corinna.

@corinna dres Look up the bobbin winding symbol in your manual. Does it look identical to the JC you mentioned? I suspect so. Possibly your bobbin pin was accidentally moved to the right purring the machine in winding mode. Move the pin left until it clicks. Now you're in sewing mode. Yes I realize the bobbin symbol seems like an error message however the machine often beeps when in error. If no beeping check pin first. Hope that helps.
I’m having issues with my zig zig stitches not zig zagging. More of a straight stitch with a zig zag every now and then. I’ve tried changing my tension back and forth. I’m beside myself I am not new at sewing.

I'm pleased to tell you mine was doing this. You've probably already tried this but just in case, mine was ignoring any sideways stitches like zig zag. I fiddled with a few things, changed the foot, nothing changed until I turned it on and off again and it reset the needle into the middle area, so it must have needed a reset, perhaps if you've had the needle to the side or something it doesn't like when you change stitch designs.
I replaced the needle after the other one got bent and now it won’t pick up the bobbin thread
How do I use the buttons on the right side of the machine and what does each one stand for?
My wheel won't turn all the way. It seems to get stuck, I can gently force it, but it doesn't sew. Research suggested it was either a clog of junk or the timing. So I am trying to get the bottom off to make the adjustment. Any suggestions?
