TROUBLESHOOTING
- Always check that the machine is threaded properly, sewing machines of any kind are notoriously particular when it comes to threading, the tiniest missed detail can lead to problems obvious in the quality of your product.
- Make sure tread tail is long enough to not pull out of the needle as soon sewing begins
- Make sure the bobbin spool is seated correctly. There is a magnet in these fancy pre-wound bobbins we buy, the magnet should always face in towards the metal bobbin case. If the spool is not turning in the correct direction or if its not seated well the machine will be embroidering will be interrupted regularly with error messages and your piece will be low quality.
- Check that the bobbin spool is more than a quarter full, when the bobbin thread gets low it tends to make the machine perform poorly.
- Needles, they can break and dull regularly with use. Check to make sure needles aren't broken. If the needles are dull they can easily cause issues. It's normal to troubleshoot replacing needles if you've already made sure the machine is threaded properly. If you are a normal user of this machine or any sewing machine learning to change the needles is part of what you'll need to know for success. Video tutorial on needle changing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89EveDvM6k0
- The tension is not this issue as frequently as one might think. Ancel, our area Shop Captain has spent a lot of time understanding and tinkering with tension on this machine to get it into tip-top shape. Adjusting tension dramatically will likely not yield the desired results. If you are adjusting tension for trouble shooting please do so thoughtfully always being able to return the tension to its original position if that was not in fact the issue.
