Symptom
Embroidery unit
does not move.
Embroidery not
neatly done.
Probable Cause
No pattern selected.
The embroidery unit is not set up
correctly.
The fabric is not fully stretched on
the embroidery frame. The fabric
is loose.
No stabilizer material is attached.
The thread is tangled and the
bobbin case, etc., is plugged up.
The thread tension is incorrect.
The upper thread was not
threaded correctly.
The bobbin thread is incorrectly
installed.
Objects are placed near the
carriage or embroidery frame.
Material coming out of the
embroidery frame is causing
problems.
A heavy fabric is being
embroidered, and the fabric is
hanging off the table.
The fabric is catching. It is
pinched.
The carriage was moved while the
embroidery frame was being
removed or attached during
embroidery.
Remedy
Select a pattern.
Set the embroidery unit up correctly.
Stretch the fabric properly on the
embroidery frame.
Always use stabilizer material for
embroidery.
Remove the tangled thread. When
the bobbin case is plugged up, clean
the race.
Adjust the tension of the upper thread
and the bobbin thread.
Correct the upper threading.
Make sure that the thread is hanged
on the thread guide spring which is
on the left side of the thread guide
cover.
Correctly install the bobbin thread.
If the embroidery unit carriage or
embroidery frame bumps into
objects, the pattern will be
misaligned. 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.
Support the fabric while
embroidering.
Stop the machine and set the fabric
up correctly.
If the carriage is moved during the
process, the pattern may be
misaligned. Be careful when
removing or attaching the
embroidery frame.
