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.

Good evening. My Singer Brilliance 6180 keeps breaking needles. I noticed that the needle bar is more shifted towards the left, causing the needle to hit the plate and break. What should I adjust? Thank you very much Giampaola Pinna

@Giampaola remember to use the needle adjust function to keep it centered.
@Giampaola Is the bobbin ring secured with the 2 tabs?
Just bought a refurbished Singer brilliant 6180 and the plate where the needle should go though is stopping the needle from going down . Could it be the wrong plate and if so where do I get another one.
Why does the thread jam up in the bottom, then it stops sewing, when I'm on more than two layers of cotton?
The tension on the thread is fine after threading the machine but after stitching the tension is too tight. I am in the middle of a project. What could be the problem and how can I fix w?
