Foot Presser is not pressing correctly

Featured Replies

Hi All,
if anyone knows how to fix this issue? I have got a brother embroidery machine i.e. innovis 1500. I was doing embroidery on a cotton kind of fabric. There's nothing wrong with fabric, I have done on it before also. Everytime when the needle goes down to pick and tie thread from bobbin , it comes up being destroyed (becomes very thin as well as tangled). I have noticed that shoe for embroidery is not compeletly pressed down which causes the fabric to not being stable. Help it get fixed. Thanks

I feel either there's something wrong with the machine needle that's the reason it doesn't pick up the bobbin thread correctly.


I think you must remove the presser foot and put it back again, making sure that the screw holds it securely.


Why dont you put the machine back to factory settings. 


What kind of stabliser you are using if everything has been tried and still not working?


Check the bobbin case

Thanks lot for these suggestions. I will the suggestions mentioned above.


Check if the bobbin casing is rightly clean and in the surrounding area.

I think I have messed up with any setting.


But I think there is something not right with the presser foot which doesnt get pressed 

 

properly.

When you do the embroidery, the presser foot is not supposed to be down as if you were sewing.


The other might cause a issue is the embroidery hoop which may not be properly seated.


It sounds that you might be having a dirty bobbin and could be the part of your issue.


your fabric isn't correctly hooped.


Is the needle set in a right way?


Hi,

 

I think you must  reset the setting back to default just check, I think this may work for you..

I think I have messed up with the settings and the shoe is not getting pressed fully when the machine gets started.


I'm getting the same problem with my machine Designer 1, the foot presser does not come down.


The fabric may not hooped correctly. Also check that you're using the right embroidery foot used for embroidering and not the sewing foot.

I don't believe it is anything you are doing.  I have been having this same issue and have had my VE2200 in with the dealer for the first year and now with Brother for 4 months and so far they are unable to fix the machine.  I believe I have a lemon.  Do not settle on this problem.
