displayed. If you press
or do the operation correctly while the error message is displayed, the message disappears.
Embroidery pattern
does not sew out
correctly.
Fabric outside the frame edges interferes with
the sewing arm, so the embroidery unit cannot
move.
Reinsert the fabric in the embroidery frame so
that the excess fabric is away from the sewing
arm, and rotate the pattern 180 degrees.
B-30
Fabric is too heavy, so the embroidery unit
cannot move freely.
Place a large thick book or similar object under
the arm head to lightly lift the heavy side and
keep it level.
–
Fabric is hanging off the table.
If the fabric is hanging off the table during
embroidery, the embroidery unit will not move
freely. Place the fabric so that it does not hang
off the table or hold the fabric to keep it from
dragging.
B-28
Fabric is snagged or caught on something.
Stop the machine and place the fabric so that it
does not get caught or snagged.
–
Embroidery frame was removed during sewing
(for example, to reset the bobbin). The
embroidery foot was bumped or moved while
removing or attaching the embroidery frame, or
the embroidery unit was moved.
If the embroidery foot is bumped or the
embroidery unit is moved during sewing, the
pattern will not turn out. Be careful when
removing or reattaching the embroidery frame
during sewing.
B-33
Stabilizer is incorrectly attached, for example, it
is smaller than the embroidery frame.
Attach the stabilizer correctly.
B-29
Loops appear on
the surface of the

Adjust the thread tension.
