Probable Cause Remedy
Replace the needle.
Firmly set the fabric in the
embroidery frame so that it is
taut.
The thread quality is too weak
due to age of thread. Replace
thread.
Delete all stitches with a zero
pitch.
Delete all stitches with a small
pitch.
Using a data design system,
correct the thread density and
overstitching settings in the
embroidery data.
Correctly thread the bobbin
thread.
Replace the bobbin.
Replace the bobbin case.
Remove the thread jammed
and clean the hook.
Use the correct bobbin.
Thread the upper thread
correctly.
Replace the needle with a new
one.
Correctly install the needle.
Clean the hook and the needle
plate.
Consult your nearest Brother
dealer.
Improper twisting results in
irregular loop formation. Try
using a new spool.
Use tweezers to remove any
tangled thread from the hook.
If the fabric is not taut, the
pattern may become
misaligned or the stitching may
shrink. Be sure to correctly
frame the fabric in the
embroidery frame.
Use an embroidery frame that
is close to the size of the
embroidery.
Use stabilizer (backing) when
embroidering on thin or stretch
fabrics, fabrics with a coarse
weave or fabrics that easily
allow the stitching to shrink.
<When using the optional cap
frame>
Use hard stabilizer when
embroidering on a cap made of
soft material.
