Trouble shooting

Any time you experience a problem when
sewing:
• Select correct type and weight of fabric in the Exclusive
SEWING ADVISOR™ feature.
• Insert needle size and type as recommended on the
GraphicDisplay.
• Rethread the top and bobbin threads.
• Use different spool pin positions (vertical or horizontal).

decorative sewing we recommend embroidery thread on top
and bobbin thread on bobbin.

• Make sure the white area on the side of the wheel is lined up
