The TAJIMA TMBR-SC may not stay in position and break needles due to several possible causes:
1. Improper Thread Tension – Adjust the tension appropriately. 2. High Design Density – Modify the design by reducing unnecessary underlay stitching. 3. Thick or Hard Material – Use a material suitable for embroidery. 4. Deformed Bobbin – Replace the bobbin if it touches the needle. 5. Worn or Incorrect Needle – Use a high-quality needle that matches the embroidery conditions. 6. Machine Vibration – Adjust the leveling to reduce vibrations. 7. Abrasion of Needle Catcher or Hook Clearance Issues – Check and adjust the clearance between the needle and hook point. 8. Improper Needle Location – Ensure the needle is correctly positioned. 9. Needle Bar Case Play – If excessive play exists, it may need adjustment. 10. Floor Vibration – Ensure the machine is placed on a stable surface. 11. Frame Play – Inspect if there is any movement around the frame that may cause instability.
If these issues persist, consulting a distributor for further inspection may be necessary.

Hi, I’m getting an icon showing that my needle bar is turned off and isn’t allowing the needle to go down. I’ve looked for a setting everywhere. It will start the design, but nothing comes down. I was wondering if there was a separate power switch somewhere or if I just missed the setting. Thank you in advance!!

Check the condition of the head and the FS mode lock status. If the needle bar is not allowing the needle to go down, ensure that the machine is not in a locked state. If necessary, adjust the settings to allow operation. If the issue persists, check the presser foot setting and confirm that the machine is not in a suspended state.

Do you have a question about the TMBR-SC and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
por que no se mantiene en su posicion y quiebra las agujas , aveces queda vien pero se regresa y queda asi
The TAJIMA TMBR-SC may not stay in position and break needles due to several possible causes:
1. Improper Thread Tension – Adjust the tension appropriately.
2. High Design Density – Modify the design by reducing unnecessary underlay stitching.
3. Thick or Hard Material – Use a material suitable for embroidery.
4. Deformed Bobbin – Replace the bobbin if it touches the needle.
5. Worn or Incorrect Needle – Use a high-quality needle that matches the embroidery conditions.
6. Machine Vibration – Adjust the leveling to reduce vibrations.
7. Abrasion of Needle Catcher or Hook Clearance Issues – Check and adjust the clearance between the needle and hook point.
8. Improper Needle Location – Ensure the needle is correctly positioned.
9. Needle Bar Case Play – If excessive play exists, it may need adjustment.
10. Floor Vibration – Ensure the machine is placed on a stable surface.
11. Frame Play – Inspect if there is any movement around the frame that may cause instability.
If these issues persist, consulting a distributor for further inspection may be necessary.

Hi, I’m getting an icon showing that my needle bar is turned off and isn’t allowing the needle to go down. I’ve looked for a setting everywhere. It will start the design, but nothing comes down. I was wondering if there was a separate power switch somewhere or if I just missed the setting. Thank you in advance!!
Check the condition of the head and the FS mode lock status. If the needle bar is not allowing the needle to go down, ensure that the machine is not in a locked state. If necessary, adjust the settings to allow operation. If the issue persists, check the presser foot setting and confirm that the machine is not in a suspended state.
