Decorative stitch patterns are misaligned.
Wrong presser foot was used.
Stitch pattern adjustment settings were set
incorrectly.
Stitch pattern is irregular.
Wrong presser foot was used.
Thin or stretch fabrics are being sewn.
• Attach stabilizer material to the fabric.
Thread tension is set incorrectly.
Fabric was pulled, pushed or fed at an angle while
it was being sewn.
• Sew while guiding the fabric with your hands so
that the fabric is fed in a straight line.
The thread is tangled, for example, in the bobbin
case.
Embroidery pattern does not embroider correctly.
Thread is twisted.
Thread tension is set incorrectly.
Fabric was not inserted into the frame correctly
(fabric was loose, etc.).
Stabilizing material was not attached.
• 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 Brother
dealer for the proper stabilizer.
There was an object placed near the machine, and
the carriage or embroidery frame hit the object
during embroidering.
Material coming out of the embroidery frame is
causing problems.
• 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.
A heavy fabric is being embroidered, and the
fabric is hanging off the table.
• If embroidery is done with the fabric hanging off
the table, the embroidery unit movement will be
impaired. Support the fabric while embroidering.
Fabric is snagged or caught on something.
• Stop the machine and place the fabric so that it
does not get caught or snagged.
The carriage was moved while the embroidery
frame was being removed or attached during
embroidery.
• If the carriage is moved during the process, the
pattern may be misaligned. Be careful when
removing or attaching the embroidery frame.
Stabilizer is incorrectly attached, for example, it is
smaller than the embroidery frame.
Embroidery pattern does not embroider in a particular
position.
Fabric is not positioned with the proper position in
the embroidery frame.
• Use the embroidery sheet.
Loops appear on the surface of the fabric when
embroidering.
