Maintenance
Is the needle too small for the thread? Change the needle.
Is the fabric moving up and down with the needle when
free motion sewing or embroidering?
Attach the Dynamic Spring Foot 6D.
If using the 6A Embroidery/Sensormatic Free Motion
Foot, decrease the embroidery pivot height in settings
menu in small increments until the problem is solved.
Needle Thread Breaks
Did you insert the needle properly? Insert needle correctly, see Changing the Needle, page
34.
Did you insert a wrong needle? Use needle system 130/705 H.
Use a needle suitable for selected fabric and thread. See
Selecting Correct Thread/Needle Combination, page 37.
Is the needle bent or blunt? Insert a new needle.
Did you thread the machine properly? Remove the thread completely and rethread the machine,
see Threading the Upper Thread, page 35.
Does the thread slide down and get caught under the
thread spool?
Place the large spool holder with the flat side up under
the spool on the spool pin, or for larger spools use a
thread net over the spool. See Threading Tips and Hints,
page 39.
Is the needle too small for the thread? Change the needle to the proper size for the thread.
Are you using poor thread with slubs or thread which
has become dry?
Change to a new high quality thread purchased from an
authorized PFAFF® retailer.
If using a spool cap on top of the spool, is it too small so
the thread snags at the top of the spool?
Attach a spool cap slightly larger than the actual thread
spool.
Is the best spool pin position used? Try a different spool pin position (vertical or horizontal).
Is the needle plate hole damaged? Change the needle plate.
Is the thread tension too high for selected thread? Lower the thread tension in small increments until
problem is solved.

Use only bobbins especially designed for the creative
icon™ machine.
Did you insert the bobbin properly? Check the bobbin thread.
Is the needle plate hole damaged? Change the needle plate.
Is the bobbin area full of lint? Clean lint from bobbin area and use only the original
bobbins approved for this model.
