Embroidery pattern
does not sew out
correctly Thread is twisted. Use scissors, etc., to cut the twisted thread
and remove it from the race, etc. A-27
Fabric was not inserted into the frame correctly
(fabric was loose, etc.). If the fabric is not stretched tight in the frame,
the pattern may turn out poorly or there may
be shrinkage of the pattern. Set the fabric
into the frame correctly. E-14
Stabilizing material was not attached. Always use stabilizing material, especially
with stretch fabrics, lightweight fabrics,
fabrics with a coarse weave, or fabrics that
often cause pattern shrinkage. See your
authorized dealer for the proper stabilizer. E-11
There was an object placed near the machine,
and the carriage or embroidery frame hit the
object during sewing. If the frame bumps something during sewing,
the pattern will turn out poorly. Do not place
anything in the area where the frame may
bump it during sewing. E-21
Fabric outside the frame edges interferes with
the sewing arm, so the embroidery unit cannot
move. Reinsert the fabric in the embroidery frame so
that the excess fabric is away from the
sewing arm, and rotate the pattern 180
degrees. E-14
Fabric is too heavy, so the embroidery unit
cannot move freely. Place a large thick book or similar object
under the arm head to lightly lift the heavy
side and keep it level. —
