Symptom Probable Cause Remedy Reference Page There are needle cuts or holes in the garment. The needle is dull. The fabric is too delicate. Replace the needle. Dull needles have a difficult time passing through the garment, causing fabrics to tear. The simple penetration of the needle could damage delicate fabrics. Use stabilizer on top of fabric. p.35, 88 p.250 The thread tension is too tight. Adjust the tension according to the type of fabric and thread being used. Polyester thread will stretch during sewing especially if the tensions are set too high. After the stitching is complete, the thread returns to its original strength, causing puckers in the fabric. p.123 There is puckering in the fabric. The framing tension of the fabric is incorrect. Tightly frame non-stretchable, woven fabrics. Loose framing will cause the fabric to bunch up under the stitching. Tautly frame soft knits using a stable backing. Overstretching the garment will cause it to look puckered when the frame is removed. p.249 The column stitches are too long. Re-digitize the design with fill stitching or with multiple rows of column stitching. The needle is dull. Dull needles push fabric down and damage material. Replace the needle. p.35, 88 The design density is too heavy. Too many stitches in an area pull fabric, causing it to pucker. Slightly decrease the design density by 5% to 10%. There is no color indicated on LED light after the lights flashing, when the thread color needs to be changed. Black is assigned as the next thread color. When black is assigned as the next thread color, LED light does not indicate the next thread color. The light turns off after flashing. p.113 When embroidering thick fabric, the fabric cannot be correctly hooped. Fabric slips within the frame because of its thickness. Wrap masking tape or bias tape around the outer frame. The tape will provide resistance so that the fabric does not easily slip. p. 249 There is flickering in built-in camera image displayed in the LCD screen. If the machine is being used in a very cold environment, there may be flickering in the built-in camera image displayed in the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction. Leave the machine turned on, and then wait a while before using the built-in camera. - 7 CAUTION ● This machine is equipped with a thread detecting mechanism.
