TROUBLESHOOTING

■The thread was accidentally cut automatically and the bobbin thread is caught inside the machine

aCut the thread near the fabric above the needle plate, and then remove the fabric.

aThread

bRemove the bobbin, and then hold it out toward the left side of the machine.

cLower the presser foot.

dApply slight tension on bobbin thread by holding thread out to the left side of presser foot. Press the “Thread Cutter” button again.

CAUTION

•Do not pull on the thread with excessive force, otherwise the machine may be damaged.

■Correcting bobbin work tension

* If the top thread shows on the bobbin side of the fabric, increase the upper tension (Refer to “ADJUSTING THE THREAD TENSION” on

page A-12).

*If the top thread still shows on the bobbin side of the fabric, reduce the tension of the bobbin thread or bypass the bobbin tension. (Refer to “ADJUSTING THE THREAD TENSION” on page A-12.)

*Some bobbin threads are too coarse to pass through to wrong side of fabric. In this case, be sure to color match top thread with bobbin threads.

Example: Decorative Stitch

aCorrect tension

bThe upper thread tension is too loose, or the bobbin thread tension is too tight.

■The bobbin thread catches on the tension spring of the bobbin case

Sew with no tension applied to the bobbin thread. (Refer to “When tension is not applied to the bobbin thread” on page A-7.)
