If the thread breaks or the bobbin thread runs out while embroidering, the machine will automatically stop. Since some stitches may be sewn with only one thread, go back through the stitching to a point where stitches have already been sewn before continuing embroidering.

If the upper thread breaks

1. Re-thread the upper thread.
   
   
   
    
2. Touch  .
    

   

   >> The stitch navigating screen appears.
   
   
    

3. Touch  and  to go back through the stitching to a point where stitches have already been sewn.

   (1) Each touch of this key moves one stitch back through the stitching. (2) Each touch of this key moves ten stitches back through the stitching. (3) Touch this key to return to the point in the stitching before the changes.

   It is recommended to stitch over the last two or three stitches for complete coverage.

   
   
   You can also touch the specific point of the embroidery progress bar to move the stitch count to the desired point. If the needle bar is moved back too far through the stitching, touch  or  to go forward through the stitching.

   (1) Each touch of this key moves one stitch forward through the stitching. (2) Each touch of this key moves ten stitches forward through the stitching.

If the bobbin thread breaks or runs out

1. Touch  , and then press the thread trimming button.
   
   
   
   >> The upper thread is trimmed.

   If the bobbin thread breaks or runs out, also trim the upper thread.

   
   
   
    
2. Remove the stitches sewn only with the upper thread.
   Pull the trim end of the upper thread.
   
   

   If the stitches cannot be cleanly removed, trim the thread with scissors.

   
   
   
    


3. If the bobbin thread ran out, replace the bobbin with a bobbin wound with bobbin thread.
   
   
   • If the hook cover can be opened, replace the bobbin without removing the embroidery frame from the　machine.
   • If the machine bed is hidden, for example, with a bagshaped　piece of fabric, or if the hook cover cannot be　opened, temporarily remove the embroidery frame. After replacing the bobbin, reattach the embroidery frame.

   If the embroidery frame is removed before embroidering of the pattern is finished, take caution, otherwise the pattern may become misaligned.
    

   • Do not apply extreme pressure to the framed fabric and cause it to become loose.
   • When removing and re-attaching the embroidery frame, do not allow the frame to hit the carriage or the presser foot. If the carriage is hit and moves, turn the machine off, then on again. The correct frame position at the time that the machine was stopped is stored in the machine’s memory, and the embroidery frame is returned to the correct position.
   • When the embroidery frame is re-attached, make sure that the pins on the left and right arms of the embroidery frame holder securely fit into the holes in the handles on the embroidery frame.
   
    
   
    
4. Go back through the stitching in the same way as that described in step 2 of  “If the upper thread breaks”, and then continue embroidering.
