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 such cases, use the following procedure to step back through the embroidering data to the point for continuing. 1. Press the reverse switch (stitch return) to step back through the embroidery data. The hoop will move back one stitch at a time. Step back through the data until the blank area has been completely 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 page 7 "Setting 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. 41
