• This machine is equipped with a thread detection device. If the "Start/Stop" button is pushed before the
upper threading is done, the machine will not operate properly. Also, depending on the pattern selected,
the machine may feed the fabric even if the needle is raised. This is due to the needle bar release
mechanism. At these times, the machine will make a sound different from what is made during normal
sewing. This is not the sign of a malfunction.
• If the power is disconnected during sewing:
Turn the main power to OFF and unplug the machine.
If you restart the machine, follow the instructions for operating the machine correctly.
Cause
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.
Stop the machine and place the fabric so that
it does not get caught or snagged.
If the presser 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.
Attach the stabilizer correctly.
Adjust the thread tension.
Use the embroidery needle plate cover.
Change the bobbin case or bobbin thread so
that the correct combination is used.
Select a pattern.
Turn the main power to ON.
Reattach the embroidery unit correctly.
Perform the initialization process correctly.
Manually adjust the position according to the
thickness of the fabric.
The pointer indication should be used only as
a reference.
