When you removed and replaced the throat plate, bobbin and bobbin case to clean the shuttle and surrounding area, did you have the needle at it's highest position?

If the bobbin case is not properly re-installed, the hand wheel is affected.

If all of the above has been done and the handwheel is still locked up, the machine will need to go into the shop for service.

This is an expensive, computorized machine and any additional hands-on troubleshooting could add up to a costly repair fee.

I have a babylock emp6 and it starts stitching the design then stops and says check upper or bobbin thread. THe threads seem fine it stitches a bit then says the same thing what can the problem be?
If your Babylock EMP6 embroidery machine starts stitching a design and then stops, displaying a message to check the upper or bobbin thread, there are a few potential causes for this issue:
  1. Thread tension: Improper thread tension can cause stitching issues. Ensure that both the upper and bobbin threads are properly threaded and the tension settings are adjusted correctly. Check the machine's manual for specific instructions on setting the thread tension.
  2. Thread breakage: Check both the upper and bobbin threads for any signs of breakage or tangles. A broken or tangled thread can cause the machine to stop and display the error message. If you find any issues, rethread the machine and ensure the threads are properly seated in the tension discs and bobbin case.
  3. Bobbin issues: Check the bobbin area for any obstructions, such as lint or tangled thread. Clean the bobbin case and ensure the bobbin is correctly inserted and spinning freely. If the bobbin is wound unevenly or has any defects, replace it with a new one.
  4. Needle issues: A bent or dull needle can cause stitching problems. Check the needle for any damage and replace it if necessary. Make sure you are using the correct needle size and type for the fabric and design you are stitching.
  5. Machine maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance are important for the smooth operation of the machine. Clean out any lint or debris from the bobbin area, needle plate, and thread path. Lubricate the machine as recommended in the manual.

I have problem with my babylock Ellegante when sewing the thread bird nests on the back of the fabric
Try to increase the upper tension. Try with your fingers to pull the thread to see if the tension feels like it has increased. Sometimes the tension control may be a problem. Anyway, if this seems to be ok then the bottom tension for the bobbin needs to be lowered. The left screw on the bobbin case can be rotated c-clockwise small amounts while feeling the pressure of the thread while pulling with your fingers.

Babylock.com has really good cust. service, but your dealer should know what steps to take to clear this code.
If the sell an addtional information book on your machine, and stitching BUY it, it was so worth my $70 for my Evolve book (200+pages of HOW to's for that 8 thread monster!)
