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. Fabric was not inserted into the frame correctly If the fabric is not stretched tight in the frame, (fabric was loose, etc.). the pattern may turn out poorly or there may be shrinkage of the pattern. Set the fabric into the frame correctly. 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 dealer for the proper stabilizer. 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. 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. 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.
