HELPFUL INFORMATION FOR EMBROIDERING WITH FUTURA 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 this case, use the following procedure to step back though the embroidery design to the area where you want to resume stitching. 1. Press the reverse stitch button (stitch return) to step back through the embroidery design. The hoop will move back one stitch at a time. Continue stepping back through the embroidery design until the blank area has been passed over. 2. Restart the embroidery machine and continue embroidering.

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 software will recalculate the stitch on an imported design when sizing, but only when using 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. 88
