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.

E-97

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 retailer 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.

—

Embroidery pattern

does not sew out

correctly

Fabric is hanging off the table. 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 the fabric to

keep it from dragging.

E-21

Fabric is snagged or caught on something. Stop the machine and place the fabric so that

it does not get caught or snagged.

—

Embroidery frame was removed during sewing

(for example, to reset the bobbin). The

embroidery foot was bumped or moved while

removing or attaching the embroidery frame, or

the embroidery unit was moved.

If the embroidery 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.

E-26

Stabilizer is incorrectly attached, for example, it

is smaller than the embroidery frame.

Attach the stabilizer correctly. E-11

Loops appear on the

surface of the fabric

when embroidering

The thread tension is incorrectly set. Adjust the thread tension. E-30 to E-32

The tension of the upper thread is incorrectly

set for the combination of the fabric, thread and

pattern being used.

Use the embroidery needle plate cover. E-22

The combination of the bobbin case and

bobbin thread is incorrect.

Change the bobbin case or bobbin thread so

that the correct combination is used.

E-21

Embroidery unit does

not operate

There is no pattern selected. Select a pattern. E-3, E-58

Main power switch is not turned on. Turn the main power to ON. B-17

Embroidery unit is not attached correctly. Reattach the embroidery unit correctly. B-44

Embroidery frame was attached before the unit

was initialized.

Perform the initialization process correctly. B-44

Pointer of embroidery

foot “W+” with LED

pointer does not

indicate the position

correctly

With thick or elastic fabric, the position will be

misaligned only at raised parts in the fabric.

Manually adjust the position according to the

thickness of the fabric.

B-48

With fabric having a very uneven surface, the

position is not correctly aligned.

The pointer indication should be used only as

a reference.
