Uneven Quilt Design
Corrective Measure(s)
Take-up rollers may be bowed
or bent
•
Make certain the fabric is not rolled too tight, causing the poles
to bow. Check that poles are inserted completely together with
the push buttons engaged so bowing won’t occur.
Leaders are stretched or worn
• If fabric is beginning to stretch or fray, contact your authorized
Baby Lock retailer to purchase replacement leaders.
Thread Breaks
Corrective Measure(s)
Poor quality thread, may have
severe twisting or thread rot
•
Look for severe twisting of threads when approximately 12 to
15 inches has been pulled off, with the ends pinched together.
•
Cotton threads are particularly susceptible to dry rot or wet rot
which makes thread brittle.
•
Do not use poor quality thread, or thread that is rotted or
brittle.
Top and bobbin tensions not
balanced
•
Balance the tension of the needle thread after ensuring the
bobbin tension is adjusted correctly. (For more information
about adjusting tension, see
Bobbin and Bobbin Tension
in the
Using Your Machine
section of this manual.)
