Probable Cause Remedy
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.
Correctly attach the
embroidery frame to the
carriage. Make sure that the
pins on the left and right arms
of the embroidery frame holder
securely fit into the holes in the
handles on the embroidery
frame.
The pattern may become
misaligned if the carriage or
embroidery frame is hitting
objects. Make sure that there
are no objects within the
operating field of the
embroidery frame.
Stop the machine, and then
correctly position the fabric.
The pattern may become
misaligned if the presser foot
was hit or the carriage was
moved while replacing bobbin
thread, changing needle, or
working near embroidery
frame.
Be careful when removing and
reattaching the embroidery
frame while replacing bobbin
thread, changing needle, or
working near embroidery
frame.
If the carriage is moved, turn
the machine off, then on again.
The correct frame position at
the time that the machine was
stopped is stored in the
machine's memory, and the
embroidery frame is returned to
the correct position.
The design may need more pull
compensation or underlay to
accommodate stretchy or high-
napped fabrics.
After passing the upper thread
through the hole in the presser
foot, pull the thread by hand to
check the thread tension. If it is
difficult to determine, compare
it with other needle bars where
looping does not occur.
