creases form.

exactly matches the outer hoop.

Did you stabilize your fabric suffi ciently? Place a sheet of Adhesive backed paper/stabilizer and/or
Water-soluble stabilizer onto the fabric.

Did you use the right needle? Insert a needle with a larger eye
(System 130N).
Is the needle bent or blunt? Insert a new needle.
Is the thread too thick for the needle? Use the right needle size.

back.
Did you thread the machine properly? Check how the machine is threaded.
