Thread tension is set incorrectly.
Fabric was not inserted into the frame
correctly (fabric was loose, etc.).
Stabilizing material was not attached.
There was an object placed near the machine,
and the carriage or embroidery frame hit the
object during sewing.
Fabric outside the frame edges interferes with
the sewing arm, so the embroidery unit cannot
move.
Fabric is too heavy, so the embroidery unit
cannot move freely.
Fabric is hanging off the table.
Fabric is snagged or caught on something.

Cause
Check the steps for threading the machine and
rethread the machine.
Reset the bobbin. (If needle plate was
removed, reinstall needle plate and tighten
screws prior to installing bobbin case.)
Check the "Fabric/Thread/Needle
Combinations" chart.
Reattach the presser foot holder correctly.
Adjust the thread tension.
Use a correctly wound bobbin.
Replace the needle.
Incorrect bobbins will not work properly. Only
use a bobbin designed specifically for this
machine.
Revise the pattern adjustment settings.
Attach the correct presser foot.
Attach a stabilizer material.
Adjust the thread tension.
Sew while guiding the fabric with your hands
so that the fabric is fed in a straight line.
Remove the tangle thread. If the thread is
tangled in the bobbin case, clean the race.
Use scissors, etc., to cut the twisted thread
and remove it from the bobbin case, etc.
Adjust the thread tension.
If the fabric is not stretched tight in the frame,
the pattern may turn out poorly or there may
be shrinkage of the pattern. Set the fabric into
the frame correctly.
Always use stabilizing material, especially with
stretch fabrics, lightweight fabrics, fabrics with
a coarse weave, or fabrics that often cause
pattern shrinkage. See your authorized Baby
Lock retailer for the proper stabilizer.
If the frame bumps something during sewing,
the pattern will turn out poorly. Do not place
anything in the area where the frame may
bump it during sewing.
Reinsert the fabric in the embroidery frame so
that the excess fabric is away from the sewing
arm, and rotate the pattern 180 degrees.
Place a large thick book or similar object under
the arm head to lightly lift the heavy side and
keep it level.
If the fabric is hanging off the table during
embroidery, the embroidery unit will not move
freely. Place the fabric so that it does not hang
off the table or hold the fabric to keep it from
dragging.
Stop the machine and place the fabric so that
it does not get caught or snagged.
If the presser foot is bumped or the
embroidery unit is moved during sewing, the
pattern will not turn out. Be careful when
removing or reattaching the embroidery frame
during sewing.
Attach the stabilizer correctly.
