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.

Troubleshooting/Frequently Asked Questions
Please click on any question below to display the corresponding answer.

Basic Tips for All

  1. Always turn the handwheel TOWARDS you (counter clockwise) as turning it in the opposite direction (away from you, clockwise) may knock the timing out requiring repair from a service center.
  2. Always be sure your presser foot is in the DOWN position before sewing. Sewing with the presser foot in the up position will cause your thread to tangle and your bobbin to jam.
  3. Change needles regularly (after 16 hours of use) as dull/weak needles can cause damage to your machine and fabric. Only use SINGER needles on your SINGER sewing machine.
  4. Always be sure you are using the correct bobbin for your machine. Class 66, Class 15 and Class 15J bobbins look very similar. However, using the incorrect bobbin class in your machine can cause damage.

My babylock melody is jamming
f your Babylock Melody machine is jamming, there are several things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the needle: Make sure the needle is the correct size and type for the fabric you are using. If the needle is bent or damaged, it may be hitting the bobbin case, causing the machine to jam.
  2. Re-thread the machine: Make sure the upper and bobbin threads are properly threaded through all the guides and tension discs. Sometimes re-threading the machine can resolve jamming issues.
  3. Check the bobbin: Make sure the bobbin is loaded correctly and that the thread is wound evenly. An unevenly wound bobbin can cause the machine to jam.
  4. Clean the machine: Dust and lint can build up in the hook race and other parts of the machine, causing it to jam. Clean the machine thoroughly to remove any debris.
If the issue persists, it may be necessary to have the machine serviced by a professional. A technician will be able to diagnose the issue and make any necessary repairs to get your Babylock Melody running smoothly again.

My sewing machine stopped sewing. I changed the needle cleaned out the bobbin area. It looks like the top thread is not picking up the bottome thread (changed bobbins too). the pressure feet are working...
Hi, Nancy! You obviously know how to look after your machine, but sometimes we get so excited about a new project we forget some of the basics...I know I do! Is the bobbin in the bobbin case correctly? There may be a diagram on the machine showing you the correct placement. When you replaced the needle, did you make sure the groove in the needle was facing the front of the machine? That groove is actually another thread guide and it's important that it be inserted correctly. You might check for lint between the upper tension discs. I hope one of these suggestions helps!

Tension settings for the babylock sewing machine
I found that the tension setting of 1 worked. The main problem was the machine had thread wound around behind the bobbin. I had to take the plates that are under the foot out, clean out the thread, oil the machine and use a spool of thread that had more weight than the little spool I was trying to use.
