Corrective Measure(s)
• Center the carriage wheels on top of the continuous track.
Refer to your frame instructions.
• Check that the machine carriage has not jumped the track.
• Remove all thread or debris from the wheels.
• Check that the tracks are free of lint and threads.
Corrective Measure(s)
• Make sure that the power switch is in the on position.
• Check that the power connector is securely plugged into the
back of the machine and the three-prong end is plugged into
the power source. Unplug and re-plug.
Corrective Measure(s)
• Make certain the fabric is not rolled too tight, causing the poles
to bow. Check that poles are inserted completely together with
the push buttons engaged so bowing won't occur.
• If fabric is beginning to stretch or fray, contact your authorized
Baby Lock retailer to purchase replacement leaders.
Corrective Measure(s)
• Look for severe twisting of threads when approximately 12 to
15 inches has been pulled off, with the ends pinched together.
• Cotton threads are particularly susceptible to dry rot or wet rot
which makes thread brittle.
• Do not use poor quality thread, or thread that is rotted or
brittle.
• Balance the tension of the needle thread after ensuring the
bobbin tension is adjusted correctly. (For more information
about adjusting tension, see Bobbin and Bobbin Tension in the
Using Your Machine section of this manual.)
