EMBROIDERY PATTERN IS MIS-ALIGNED
MACHINE SIDE
Embroidering is
continuing when
thread is tangled.
If the thread remains
tangled, the fabric
may pucker and
ruin the finished
embroidery. Stop
embroidering, remove
the hoop and untangle
the thread.
Upper thread tension
is too tight.
This can cause the
material to pucker
and result in uneven
feeding, so reduce the
thread tension.
Refer to pages 102 -
103.
Needle tip is broken
or needle is too thick.
Select a correct
needle.
Refer to pages 106 -
107.
Thread is tangled
somewhere along the
thread path.
If the thread is tangled
on the spool pin or
somewhere along
the thread path, it will
increase the thread
tension and cause the
material to pucker, so
check the thread.

HOOP SIDE
No stabilizer attached
when using light or
stretch material.
Attach interfacing to
the material.
Refer to pages 76 -

Material has not
been tightly fitted into
hoop.
Tighten the material
in the frames so that
it makes a sound
like a drum when the
tightened surface is
tapped with a finger.
Refer to pages 74 -
75.
Embroidery hoop
is not correctly
attached.
Attach the hoop
securely to the hoop
bracket with the hoop
mounting screws.
Refer to pages 80 -
