TROUBLESHOOTING SKIPPED STITCHES AND THREAD BREAKAGES OCCUR Needle tip is broken. Thread path is incorrect. Replace needle. Refer to page 7 - 9. Needle is bent. Replace needle. Needle is not installed correctly. Install the needle correctly. Refer to page 10. Thread is tangled around spool holder. Refer to page 4. Thread or fabric bits have collected under the needle plate. EMBROIDERY PATTERN IS MIS-ALIGNED MACHINE SIDE HOOP SIDE Embroidering is continuing when thread is tangled. No stabilizer attached when using light or stretch fabric. If the thread remains tangled, the fabric may pucker and embroidery. Stop embroidering, remove the hoop and untangle the thread. Upper thread tension is too tight. This can cause fabric to pucker and result in uneven feeding, reduce the thread tension. Refer to page 11. Attach stabilizer to the fabric. Refer to page 38 39. Fabric is not tight enough in the hoop. Tighten the fabric in the frames so that when the fabric is it makes a sound like a drum. Refer to page 37. Upper thread tension is too tight. Adjust the thread tension. Refer to page 11. To check the elasticity of the thread, hold a length of thread of about 6 inches at both ends and pull it, check the length at which it breaks. If using a highly-elastic thread, reduce the upper thread tension. 44 Remove the thread or fabric bits. Refer to page 56. A thin needle is being used for heavy fabric. Needle tip is broken or needle is too thick. Select a correct needle. Refer to page 10. Replace with a thicker needle. Generally, at least a #14 needle should be used. Thread is tangled somewhere along the thread path. If the thread is tangled on the spool pin or somewhere along the thread path, this will cause the thread to hang up and not advance through the machine. This will increase the upper thread tension and cause the fabric to pucker. Check the thread. Refer to page 7 - 9. Embroidery hoop is not correctly attached. Attach the hoop securely to the hoop bracket with the hoop mounting screws. Refer to page 40. Hoop is obstructed against free motion. Check around the hoop and remove things which cause obstruction.
