Embroidery Problem/Cause The embroidery design is distorted Did you hoop the fabric strongly enough? Is the inner embroidery hoop completely attached to the outer embroidery hoop? Remedy The fabric must be tightly hooped, in such a way that no creases form. Hoop the fabric in such a way that the inner hoop always exactly matches the outer hoop. The embroidery design has contracted Did you stabilize your fabric sufficiently? Place a sheet of Adhesive backed paper/stabilizer and/or Water-soluble stabilizer onto the fabric. Needle thread breaks Did you use the right needle? Is the needle bent or blunt? Is the thread too thick for the needle? Did you insert the needle properly? Did you thread the machine properly? Are you using poor thread with slubs or thread which has become dry after overlong storage? Insert a needle with a larger eye (System 130N). Insert a new needle. Use the right needle size. Push the needle fully upwards with its flat side facing the back. Check how the machine is threaded. Change the thread.
