1 Thread is twisted.
2 Fabric was not inserted into the frame
correctly ( fabric was loose, etc.).
3 Stabilizing material was not attached.
4 There was an object placed near the
machine, and the carriage or embroi-
dery frame hit the object during sew-
ing.
5 Fabric outside the frame edges inter-
feres with the sewing arm, so the em-
broidery unit can not move.
6 Fabric is too heavy, so the embroidery
unit can not move freely.
7 Fabric is hanging off the table.
8 Fabric is snagged or caught on some-
thing.
9 Embroidery frame was removed during
sewing (for example, to reset the bob-
bin). The presser foot was bumped or

Embroidery
pattern
does not
sew out
correctly
Use scissors, etc., to cut the twisted
thread and remove it from the race,
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.
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.
If the frame bumps something dur-
ing sewing, the pattern will turn out
poorly. Do not place anything in
the area where the frame may
bump it during sewing.
Reinsert the fabric in the embroi-
dery frame so that the excess fab-
ric is away from the sewing arm,
and rotate the pattern 180 degrees.
Place a large thick book or similar
object under the arm head to lightly
lift the heavy side and keep it level.
If the fabric is hanging off the table
during embroidery, the embroidery
unit will not move freely. Place the
fabric so that it does not hang off
the table (or, hold fabric to keep
from dragging).
Stop the machine and place the
fabric so that it does not get caught
or snagged.
If the presser foot is bumped or the
embroidery unit is moved during
sewing, the pattern will not turn
out. Be careful when removing or
reattaching the embroidery frame
during sewing.
