lindasewsit Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hi all!! I got my new Freedom yesterday!! Got her all set up and when I was practicing, the "alarm beep" for a broken top thread keeps beeping, but it is not broken... Any help? Thanks!!!

RunningThreads Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Is the thread going around the wheel in the correct direction? I know it matters on the IQ but I'm not sure about the APQS one. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2b Quilting Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 The thread must go around the thread break sensor wheel clockwise and usually more than once around the wheel. If the thread is "whipping off" the spool, you may need to put a small piece of cotton batting in the large thread guide that is directly above the thread spool. If the thread whips off the spool and gets slack in the thread path, the thread break sensor doesn't spin for a second or two and therefore it thinks the thread is broken.
