Embroidering Continues when Thread is Tangled
If the thread remains tangled, the fabric may pucker and
ruin the À nished embroidery. Stop embroidering, remove
the hoop and untangle the thread.
Top Thread Tension is Too Tight
This can cause the fabric to pucker and result in uneven
feeding, so reduce the thread tension (see page 45).
Needle Tip is Broken or Needle is Too Thick.
Select a correct needle (see page 16-17).
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 fabric to pucker, so check the thread (see page 11-
15).
Top thread does not stay in the needle eye
If embroidering several color blocks in the same color the
machine might cut the top thread too short. If that happens,
deactivate Thread Cutting Mode (see page 20) to make sure
the top thread stays in the needle eye.
Hoop Side
No Stabilizer Attached when using Light or Stretch Fabric
Always use stabilizer together with the fabric in the hoop.
Fabric has not been correctly Hooped
When hooping stabilizer and fabric make sure that they are
smooth and securely hooped. (see page 42).
Embroidery Hoop is not Correctly Attached.
Slide the hoop connector into the hoop attachment on the
embroidery arm until it clicks into place. (see page 42).
Hoop is Obstructed Against Free Motion.
Check around the hoop and remove things which cause
obstruction.
