EMBROIDERY PATTERN IS MIS-ALIGNED
MACHINE SIDE
Embroidering is continuing when thread is tangled.
If the thread remains tangled, the fabric may pucker and ruin the finished embroidery. Stop embroidering, remove the hoop and untangle the thread.
Upper thread tension is too tight.
This can cause the material to pucker
and result in uneven feeding, so reduce the thread tension.
Refer to pages 92 - 93.
Needle tip is broken or needle is too thick.
Select a correct needle.
Refer to pages 96 - 97.
Thread is tangled somewhere along the thread path.
If the thread is tangled on the spool pin or somewhere along
the thread path, it will increase the thread tension and cause the material to pucker, so check the thread
HOOP SIDE
No stabilizer attached when using light or stretch material.
Attach interfacing to the material.
Refer to pages 66 - 69.
Material has not been tightly fitted into hoop.
Tighten the material in the frames so that it makes a sound like a drum when the tightened surface is tapped with a finger. Refer to pages 64 - 65.
Embroidery hoop is not correctly attached.
Attach the hoop securely to the hoop bracket with the hoop mounting screws. Refer to pages 70 - 71.
Hoop is obstructed against free motion.
Check around the hoop and remove things which cause obstruction
