EMBROIDERY PATTERN IS MIS-ALIGNED
Embroidering is
continuing when
thread is tangled.
No stabilizer
attached when using
light or stretch
material.
Attach interfacing to
the material.
Refer to pages 68 -
69.
Material has not
been tightly fitted into
hoop.
Tighten the material
in the frames so that
it makes a sound like
a drum when the
tightened surface is
tapped with a finger.
Refer to pages 76 -
74.
Embroidery hoop is
not correctly
attached.
Attach the hoop
securely to the hoop
bracket with the hoop
mounting screws.
Refer to pages 82 -
83.
If the thread remains
tangled, the material
may pucker and spoil
the embroidery finish.
Stop embroidering,
remove the hoop and
untangle the thread.
Refer to pages 94 -
95.
This can cause the
material to pucker
and result in uneven
feeding, so reduce
the thread tension.
Refer to pages 32 -
33.
Needle tip is broken
or needle is too thick.
Select a correct
needle.
Refer to pages 30 -
31.
If the thread is tangled
on the spool pin or
somewhere along the
thread path, it will
increase the thread
tension and cause the
material to pucker, so
check the thread.
Refer to pages 24 -
25.
Thread is tangled
somewhere along the
thread path.
