1. If stitches are missing
If the embroidery machine detects that the thread has
broken, it may continue to embroider up to about eight
stitches without any thread (blank stitches) before it
automatically stops.
In such cases, use the following procedure to step back
through the embroidering data to the point for continuing.
1. Press the reverse switch (stitch return) to step back
through the embroidery data. The hoop will move
back one stitch at a time. Step back through the data
until the blank area has been completely passed
over.
2. Restart the embroidery machine and continue
embroidering.
HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR
EMBROIDERING WITH FUTURA
2. Computer screen says thread is broken,
machine lights are flashing lights and
making a beeping sound, but thread is
not broken.
Upper thread is not in the thread tension. Rethread
upper thread, (see 16 - 17 “Threading the Top Thread”.)
Placing the small net that is supplied with the accessories
over the spool of thread may ensure that the thread is
unwinding properly.
3. After resizing a design, the density of
the stitching is either too tight or not tight
enough.
The FUTURA software will recalculate the stitch of an
imported design when sizing, but only when using the
DESIGN>CHANGE SIZE option. It does have a limitation
of re-sizing up to 149% and down sizing to 51% and
while still being able to re-calculate the stitches correctly.
