Fabric is puckering.
The thread tension is too tight.
• Adjust the tension according to the type of
fabric and thread being used. Polyester thread
will stretch during embroidery especially if the
tensions are set too high. After the stitching is
complete, the thread returns to its original
strength, causing puckers in the fabric.
82
The framing tension of the fabric is incorrect.
• Tightly frame non-stretchable, woven fabrics.
Loose framing will cause the fabric to bunch up
under the stitching. Tautly frame soft knits
using a stable backing. Overstretching the
garment will cause it to look puckered when
the frame is removed.
—
The column stitches are too long.
• Re-digitize the design with fill stitching or with
multiple rows of column stitching.
—
The needle is dull.
• Dull needles push fabric down and damage
material. Replace the needle.
94
The LCD cannot be read.
The LCD screen is too bright or too dark.
• Adjust the brightness of the screen display.
21
When embroidering thick fabric, the fabric cannot be
correctly hooped.
Fabric slips within the frame because of its
thickness.
• Wrap masking tape or bias tape around the
outer frame. The tape will provide resistance so
that the fabric does not easily slip.
—
The Embroidery Crosshair Positioning Laser is hard to
see.
The Embroidery Crosshair Positioning Laser is
too bright or too dim.
• Adjust the brightness of the Embroidery
Crosshair Positioning Laser.
