Probable Cause
The sewing lamp is damaged.
The machine is not turned on.
The brightness of the LCD is either
too light or too dark.
An animation is displayed on the
LCD.
No pattern selected.
The embroidery unit is not set up
correctly.
The fabric is not fully stretched on
the embroidery frame. The fabric
is loose.
No stabilizer material is attached.
The thread is tangled and the
bobbin case, etc., is plugged up.
The thread tension is incorrect.
Objects are placed near the
carriage or embroidery frame.
Material coming out of the
embroidery frame is causing
problems.
A heavy fabric is being
embroidered, and the fabric is
hanging off the table.
The fabric is catching. It is
pinched.
The carriage was moved while the
embroidery frame was being
removed or attached during
embroidery.
Remedy
Contact your retailer or the nearest
authorized service center.
Turn on the machine.
Adjust the brightness of the LCD.
Touch the LCD with your finger, and
the animation will disappear.
Select a pattern.
Set the embroidery unit up correctly.
Stretch the fabric properly on the
embroidery frame.
Always use stabilizer material for
embroidery with stretch fabrics, thin
fabrics, fabrics with a loose weave
and fabrics where stitches easily
contract.
Remove the tangled thread. When
the bobbin case is plugged up, clean
the race.
Adjust the tension of the upper
thread.
If the embroidery unit carriage or
embroidery frame bumps into
objects, the pattern will be
misaligned. Do not place objects
within the range of embroidery frame
motion.
Stretch the fabric on the frame once
again so that the material coming out
of the embroidery frame does not
cause problems, rotate the pattern
and embroider.
If embroidery is done with the fabric
hanging off the table, the embroidery
unit movement will be impaired.
Support the fabric while
embroidering.
Stop the sewing machine and set the
fabric up correctly.
If the carriage is moved during the
process, the pattern may be
misaligned. Be careful when
removing or attaching the
embroidery frame.
