Cause
.
Solution
Use scissors, etc., to cut the twisted thread
and remove it from the race, etc.
If the fabric is not stretched tight in the frame,
the pattern may turn out poorly or there may
be shrinkage of the pattern. Set the fabric into
the frame correctly.
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
dealer for the proper stabilizer.
If the frame bumps something during sewing,
the pattern will turn out poorly. Do not place
anything in the area where the frame may
bump it during sewing.
Reinsert the fabric in the embroidery frame so
that the excess fabric is away from the sewing
arm, and rotate the pattern 180 degrees.
Place a large thick book or similar object
under the arm head to lightly lift the heavy
side and keep it level.
If the fabric is hanging off the table during
embroidery, the embroidery unit will not move
freely. Place the fabric so that it does not hang
off the table or hold the fabric to keep it from
dragging.
Stop the machine and place the fabric so that
it does not get caught or snagged.
If the presser foot is bumped or the
embroidery unit is moved during sewing, the
pattern will not turn out. Be careful when
removing or reattaching the embroidery frame
during sewing.
Attach the stabilizer correctly.
Adjust the thread tension.
Use the embroidery needle plate cover.
Change the bobbin case or bobbin thread so
that the correct combination is used.
Select a pattern.
Press the "Start/Stop" button.
Turn the main power to ON.
Lower the presser foot.
Remove the foot controller, or use the foot
controller to operate the machine.
Use the foot controller instead of the "Start/
Stop" button to operate the machine, or set
the Width control to OFF in the Sewing
settings.
Press to unlock all keys and
buttons.
Select a pattern.
Turn the main power to ON.
Reattach the embroidery unit correctly.
Perform the initialization process correctly.
Press either of the following keys to unlock the
screen.
Contact your dealer or the nearest authorized
service center.
After a while, the cloudiness will disappear.
