Probable Cause
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.
Remove the flap.
Pull the embroidery unit connector
slot cover toward you and then push
it all the way in.
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 shuttle is plugged up, clean it out.
Adjust the tension of the upper
thread.
If the embroidery unit carriage or
embroidery frame bumps into
objects, the pattern will be messed
up. 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. Fix
it so the fabric does not hang off.
Stop the sewing machine and set the
fabric up correctly.
If the carriage is moved during the
process, the pattern may be messed
up. Be careful when removing or
attaching the embroidery frame.
