Brother International PR1050X Operation Manual - Page 300

Symptom There is puckering in the fabric. The LCD cannot be read. There is no color indicated on LED light after the lights flashing, when the thread color needs to be changed. When embroidering thick fabric, the fabric cannot be correctly hooped. There is flickering in built-in camera image displayed in the LCD screen. Probable Cause The needle is dull. The design density is too heavy. The LDC screen is too bright or too dark. Black is assigned as the next thread color. Fabric slips within the frame because of its thickness. 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. Remedy Dull needles push fabric down and damage material. Replace the needle. Too many stitches in an area pull fabric, causing it to pucker. Slightly decrease the design density by 5% to 10%. Adjust the brightness of the screen display. When black is assigned as the next thread color, LED light does not indicate the next thread color. The light turns off after flashing. Wrap masking tape or bias tape around the outer frame. The tape will provide resistance so that the fabric does not easily slip. This is not a malfunction. Leave the machine turned on, and then wait a while before using the built-in camera.
