EMBROIDERY PATTERN IS MIS-ALIGNED
MACHINE SIDE
HOOP 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 fabric to pucker and result in uneven feeding, reduce the thread tension.
Refer to page 22 - 23.
Needle tip is broken or needle is too thick.
Select a correct needle.
Refer to page 20 - 21.
Thread is tangled somewhere along the thread path.
If the thread is tangled on the spool pin or somewhere along the thread path, this will cause the thread to hang up and not advance through the machine. This will increase the upper thread tension and cause the fabric to pucker. Check the thread. Refer to page 16 - 19.
No stabilizer attached when using light or stretch fabric.
Attach stabilizer to the fabric.
Refer to page 66 - 69.
Fabric is not tight enough in the hoop.
Tighten the fabric in the frames so that when the fabric is tapped with a finger, it makes a sound like a drum.
Refer to page 64 - 65.
Embroidery hoop is not correctly attached.
Attach the hoop securely to the hoop bracket with the hoop mounting screws. Refer to page 70 - 71.
Hoop is obstructed against free motion.
Check around the hoop and remove things which cause obstruction.
