If thread is fraying and breaking, it may be a direct result of the machine being run either too fast or too slow. To
correct this problem, adjust the sewing motor speed in manual mode using the touch panel ‘Less Stitches” button. You
may also need to adjust the speed at which you are moving the machine head. Thread fraying or breakage can be
caused by tension that is too tight, or there could be a burr or scratch somewhere on the hook assembly or in the
needle plate’s needle hole.
The hopping foot height should be only 1/64” (approximate thickness of a business card) in its lowest position,
without fabric under it. This is the best height for very thin battings. An adjustment can be made to accommodate
thicker battings. See Hopping Foot Adjustment section.
