Helpful Information For Embroidering With Futura - Singer XL-580 Instruction Manual

HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR
EMBROIDERING WITH FUTURA
1. If stitches are missing.
If the embroidery machine detects that the thread has
broken, it may continue to embroider up to about eight
stitches without any thread (blank stitches) before it
automatically stops.
In this case, use the following procedure to step back
though the embroidery design to the area where you
want to resume stitching.
1. Press the reverse stitch button (stitch return) to step
back through the embroidery design. The hoop will
move back one stitch at a time. Continue stepping
back through the embroidery design until the blank
area has been passed over.
2. Restart the embroidery machine and continue
embroidering.
2. Computer screen says thread is broken,
machine lights are flashing lights and
making a beeping sound, but thread is
not broken.
Upper thread is not in the thread tension. Rethread
upper thread, (see 16 - 17 "Threading the Top Thread".)
Placing the small net that is supplied with the accessories
over the spool of thread may ensure that the thread is
unwinding properly.
3. After resizing a design, the density of
the stitching is either too tight or not tight
enough.

imported design when sizing, but only when using

of re-sizing up to 149% and down sizing to 51% and
while still being able to re-calculate the stitches correctly.
