Cause
.
Solution
Remove the dust or lint.
Clean the race.
Check the steps for threading the machine
and rethread the machine.
Replace the bobbin case, or consult your
authorized dealer.
Incorrect bobbins will not work properly. Only
use a bobbin designed specifically for this
machine.
Attach the correct presser foot.
Revise the pattern adjustment settings.
Attach a stabilizer material.
Adjust the thread tension.
Sew while guiding the fabric with your hands
so that the fabric is fed in a straight line.
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
settings screen.
Press to unlock all keys and
buttons.
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.
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.
