Embroidery

pattern

does not

sew out

correctly

Use scissors, etc., to cut the twisted
thread and remove it from the race,
etc.
If the fabric is not stretched tight in
the frame, the pattern may turn out
poorly or there may be shrinkage
of the pattern. Set the fabric into
the frame correctly.
Always use stabilizing material, especially
with stretch fabrics, lightweight fabrics,
fabrics with a coarse weave, or fabrics that
often cause pattern shrinkage. See your
authorized dealer for the proper stabilizer.
If the frame bumps something dur-
ing sewing, the pattern will turn out
poorly. Do not place anything in
the area where the frame may
bump it during sewing.
Reinsert the fabric in the embroi-
dery frame so that the excess fab-
ric is away from the sewing arm,
and rotate the pattern 180 degrees.
Place a large thick book or similar
object under the arm head to lightly
lift the heavy side and keep it level.
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 fabric to keep
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.
