Site Preparation
The machine must be located near a grounded electrical outlet. At least 6” of clearance are
necessary between the back of the machine and any walls. Also 36” of room are needed in
front of the machine for normal working access. The machine should be placed on a sturdy,
level work surface.

BEVT Series Mechanical Guide Machine Basics 1 - 1

Electrical Requirements
Necessary for proper operation:
• A dedicated household type outlet
• 110-120 volts AC or 200-240 volts AC (depending on location)
• 600 watts service
If an extension cord is necessary, use a 3-wire appliance-grade cord with a minimum of 14
gauge wire, not longer than 50 feet.
NOTE: If receiving instruction on the machine, we still advise that the
machine be unpacked prior to instruction.
CAUTION! Do not put any other appliances on the same line such as
refrigerators, washers, dryers, air compressors, etc. The machine should be
run on a dedicated line to prevent interference from other equipment and
possible damage to circuit boards. Using a line conditioner will further
eliminate power surges.

Unpacking and Setup

Inspect for Shipping Damage
Before unpacking the machine, inspect for external shipping damage! If the crate is cracked
or damaged in any way, contact the freight carrier immediately! It may be necessary to follow
specific procedures to claim the condition of the crate when it was received (i.e., a photograph
of the packaging may be necessary). External damage is covered by the freight carrier, so it is
important to distinguish between internal and external damage before proceeding. The
machine is shipped complete on one skid, covered by one main plywood outer crate. As it is
unpacked, inspect for internal damage or missing components. Please call the distributor
immediately to report any internal damage before installing.
Unpacking the Machine
1. Remove the nails holding the top of the crate with a hammer.
2. Remove the three (3) 2”x4” braces using the hammer and crow bar.
3. Remove the plastic bag covering the machine.
4. The machine is ready to lift from the crate. To avoid damage to the machine, lift the
machine only from sides. Do not lift from the front and back. This machine weighs 300
pounds. Make sure at least two people lift the machine. Lift the machine straight up
and out of the crate and place on a sturdy work surface.
5. Remove the box containing the accessories from the crate. Verify that all accessories
ordered are included. The box should also contain a tool kit with various spare parts.

BEVT Series Mechanical Guide Machine Basics 1 -2

Leveling
After placing the machine on its work table, make certain it is level. It may be necessary to
adjust the leveling feet to prevent the machine form rocking back and forth. Using a bubble
level, make sure the machine is as level as possible, checking it from side to side and also
front to back.

Grounding Instructions
See Important Safety Instructions in the Overview chapter. This product must be grounded. In
the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current, to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having
an outer surface that is green, with or without yellow stripes, is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the product. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug (A) illustrated on the following page. A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified
technician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.

When using the machine, it may be necessary understand how and whether thread breaks are
detected.

Tension Unit

Thread Break Detection

Top/BottomThread The Thread Break Switch enables both the top and bobbin
Break Switch thread detection. It is located on the front of the sewing
head. The thread break switch is on when the switch is in
the up position and off in the down position.

Thread Break Detection The Thread Break detection is sensed by the white nylon
disks. When the wheel for the needle sewing does not spin
the machine stops and indicates a thread break.

Replacing Bobbins
The machine is shipped with bobbins in place, ready to sew. Follow these steps when
replacing a bobbin. The bobbins are enclosed in the bobbin cases, which must be removed in
order to replace the bobbin.

BEVT Series Mechanical Guide Machine Basics1 - 10

 Removing the Bobbin Case
1. Make sure the needle is at the highest position by verifying that the word “TOP” is
displayed on the screen. If not, rotate the main motor pulley so the needle is at the
correct position.
NOTE: It is necessary to remove the rear cover in order to access the main
motor pulley.
2. Pull the bobbin case latch, and the case will slide out of the hook assembly.
Inserting the Bobbin in the Case
1. Place the bobbin in the case, so that the bobbin rotates clockwise when you pull the
end of the thread.
2. Guide the thread into the slot on the side of the bobbin case.
PIGTAIL
3. Pull the thread under the tension spring and wrap it
through the pigtail on the front of the bobbin case.
4. Leave several inches of thread hanging from the bobbin
case.
Replacing the Bobbin Case
1. Hold the latch on the bobbin case open, positioning the TENSION
case on the shaft of the hook assembly, ensuring that the SLOT SPRING
bobbin remains in place.
2. Make sure the thread left hanging is on top.
3. Release the latch and press the bobbin case into position until a distinct “click” is
heard. If the click is not heard, remove the bobbin case and try again.
CAUTION! Do not attempt to force the bobbin case into the hook
assembly. If resistance is felt, remove the bobbin case, realign the case with
the hook and reinsert it.

Stitch Theory
To fix problems that may occur during sewing, it is important to understand how stitches are
formed. Timing is the relationship between the rotary hook assembly and sewing needle. The
hook and the needle must be in perfect synchronization to have properly formed stitches.

1 - 11 Machine Basics BEVT Series Mechanical Guide

Needle Anatomy
The anatomy of the needle is an important factor in
forming stitches.

Eye Carries the top thread through the

fabric and into the bobbin assembly.

Scarf Small notch, or cutout, on the back of

the needle that provides the clearance
needed for the hook point to pass
without striking the needle during
stitch formation.

Groove Small groove, or channel, on the front of the needle that provides the thread
a place to sit, protecting it as the needle penetrates the fabric.

How Stitches are Formed

1. The needle starts downward and penetrates the fabric.
2. The needle reaches its lowest point, then begins to rise, forming a loop of thread
behind the needle.
3. As the needle rises, the hook point passes behind the scarf, picking up the loop of
thread from the back of the needle.
4. As the needle continues to rise, the point of the hook pulls the loop of thread down.
This enlarges the loop.
5. The upper thread encircles the bobbin thread, forming a knot.
6. The knot is then drawn into the fabric by the take-up lever. The knot is tightened by
the upper and lower tensions. The needle reaches its highest point and begins the
downward motion, repeating the entire process.

BEVT Series Mechanical Guide Machine Basics1 - 12

Important Conditions for Forming Stitches
• The hook must approach the thread loop at the correct moment.
• The hook must pass within a given distance of the needle.
• The needle must be at the correct height.

Tension Adjustments
Tension is the tautness of the thread as stitches are formed. There are two tensions to
consider when making adjustments. The top thread, located in the thread stand, is controlled
by the top tension; and the bobbin thread, located in the bobbin case, is controlled by the
bobbin tension. These tensions determine the quality of the embroidery. Factors such as the
type of material you are using, the tightness of the fabric in the hoop, the backing used, the
size and style of lettering, and the type of thread being used will all play a part in setting the
proper tensions.
The top tension and bobbin tension work together to form stitches, but they are adjusted
separately. Tension should be set to allow 33% bobbin thread to show on the reverse side of
the embroidery. For example, if the bobbin thread is white and the top thread is blue, the
underside view of the stitch will be white in the center, representing one third of the total
stitching, and the outside edges will be blue, representing two thirds of the total stitching.

1- 13 Machine Basics BEVT Series Mechanical Guide

 Creating/Running an “I” Test
An excellent way to test the tensions is by using the I test.
1. Using your Lettering/Digitizing software create a row of 40mm I’s, each to be sewn
with a different needle. Sew one “I”, change to the next needle, sew another “I”,
change to the next needle, and so on until all needle have sewn..
2. Turn the sample over and look at the back of the stitching. Proper tension would show
two thirds top thread color and one third bobbin thread.

Well Balanced Tension The top row of I’s in the illustration above show properly
adjusted tension. Slight variations will occur, depending on
the fabric, backing, thread type and letter size.

Bobbin Tension Problem The middle row of I’s in the illustration above show almost
no bobbin thread. All the letters have the same problem, so
the bobbin tension needs adjustment. Bobbin tension, since
it is controlled by one tensioning mechanism, will be
consistent from one needle to the next. In this example, the
tension should be looser.

Top Tension Problem The bottom row of I’s in the illustration above show letters
that look quite different from one another. Top tension will
vary from needle to needle, since each needle tension is
controlled by three different tensioning points. Letters #1,
#2 and #7 show too much bobbin thread; letters #3, #4 and
#9 have hardly any bobbin thread showing; letters #5, #6
and #8 show properly adjusted tension.

BEVT Series Mechanical Guide Machine Basics 1 - 14

When different problems show up on different letters, the problem is in the top tensions.
Letters #1, #2 and #7 need the top tension loosened so the bobbin can pull more of the top
thread to the back. Letters #3, #4 and #9 need the top tension tightened because there is too
much of the top thread being pulled to the back.

Adjusting The Top Tension

There is a pretensioner for each needle. The pretensioners control the flow of thread from the
cone to the top tensioners. The pretensioners are set, according to the type of thread used, to
allow a smooth flow of thread to the top tensioners. The pretensioners should only need
adjustment when changing from a light weight thread to a heavier weight, or vice versa.
Adjusting the Pretensioners
1. If the thread does not flow freely, loosen the pressure on the spring that holds the disk
down by turning the thumb nut counterclockwise.
2. If the thread flows too freely, increase the pressure on the spring that holds the disk
down by turning the thumb nut clockwise.
The top tensioners control the top thread tension. If the top tension is too tight, the bobbin
will not be able to pull enough of the top thread to the back of the embroidery. Top tension
that is too tight may cause thread breaks, needle breakage, or puckering of the fabric. If the
tension is too loose, the bobbin will pull too much of the top thread to the back of the
embroidery, causing the thread to loop on either the top side or the back side of the
monogram, possibly both. The monogram will look rough, and will not lie smoothly on the
fabric. The bobbin tension on the back side of the monogram will look very narrow.

1- 15 Machine Basics BEVT Series Mechanical Guide

It may be necessary to adjust the top tension to compensate for variances in material or
thread. Generally when using a thicker material (e.g., heavy jackets) or thicker thread, the
upper tension should be set more loosely.
Adjusting the Top Tension
1. The plastic knob on the top tension assembly is marked with a + and -, with an arrow
between them. Turn the top tension disk clockwise, toward the + sign, to tighten the
top thread tension.
2. Turn the top tension disk counterclockwise, toward the - sign, to loosen the top thread
tension.
Checking the Top Tension
1. Make sure the take-up lever is at the highest position by verifying that the word “TOP”
is displayed on the screen. If not, rotate the main motor pulley so the take-up lever is at
the correct position.
2. Pull thread slowly, from front to back. Some resistance may be felt, but not so much
that the thread feels as if it will break.

Adjusting the Bobbin Tension

The bobbin tension is set by adjusting the larger screw on the bottom of the bobbin case. To
test the tension, insert a bobbin in the case and slowly pull the end of the thread. The thread
should unwind slowly and smoothly out of the bobbin case, yielding a slight resistance.
Experience will help you determine the correct degree of tension.
The tension is preset on all new bobbin cases, so readjusting bobbin tension is not often
necessary. A poly-core, cotton-wrapped thread is recommended for the bobbin; however,
other types will also work.
CAUTION! After continued use, an accumulation of lint or thread under
the thread tension spring on the bobbin case may hold the spring away
from the thread, diminishing the tension. BEFORE MAKING ANY
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BOBBIN CASE, check this area for lint or
thread. If the built up lint or thread is overlooked, the operator could be
adjusting bobbin tension to no avail. Over-tightening the bobbin tension
will bend the top of the tension spring and the bobbin case will have to be
replaced.
Adjusting the Bobbin Tension
1. Turn the screw on the bobbin case clockwise to tighten bobbin tension.
2. Turn the screw on the bobbin case counterclockwise to loosen the bobbin tension.

BEVT Series Mechanical Guide Machine Basics 1 - 16

Once the tensions have been adjusted for the type of thread being used, only minor changes
will be needed as the fabric, letter size, and alphabet style changes.

Take-Up Spring Adjustment

Located behind each upper plastic tension disc is a hook spring called the tension take-up
spring. The tension take-up spring picks up the excess slack on the thread while the machine
is sewing. This is particularly important when the machine is sewing small letters. The
take-up spring may require adjustment for two reasons.

Fabric Change It may be necessary to adjust the tension take-up spring

when switching to very thin or very thick fabric. To sew on
thinner fabric, lighten the tension on the take-up spring. To
sew on thicker fabric, tighten the tension. Follow the steps
listed below for adjusting the take-up spring tension.

False Thread Breaks There may be a time when the machine is experiencing
constant false thread breaks. The machine keeps stopping,
but the thread is not broken. When this occurs, the tension
take-up spring is too tight.

Adjusting the Take-Up Spring

1. To loosen the tension, insert a screwdriver into
the post and turn counterclockwise, no more than
1/8 of a turn. Sew off a sample to check the
tension. Repeat the procedure if necessary.
2. To tighten the tension, insert a screwdriver into
the post and turn clockwise, no more than 1/8 of a
turn. Sew off a sample to check the tension.
Repeat the procedure, if necessary.

Sewing Preparation
Using the proper size hoop when embroidering finished
goods ensures the best results. Before hooping, use Float, the H and V values or Perimeter
Trace to determine the pattern size and choose a hoop slightly larger than the pattern. It is
recommended to leave at least a 1/2" clearance around the pattern. The garment must be
hooped straight and tight so the embroidery appears straight. It is best to use a framing board
system which holds the hoop stationary so you can use both hands when straightening and
smoothing the fabric.

Embroidery Placement Guidelines
The placement of a design on a garment is subject to many variables, such as customer
preference, size and style of the garment, size and style of the design and the degree of
difficulty in working with the garment. We have assembled some guidelines for placing
designs on some popular garments. These measurements are approximate and refer to the
center point of the entire design.
NOTE: Monograms and names should be placed on the left front unless
otherwise specified. For children’s clothing, measurements should be scaled
down.

EMBROIDERY PLACEMENT GUIDELINES

WASH CLOTHS 1-1/2" above hem or 1" above border
HAND TOWELS 3" above hem or 1-1/2" above border
BATH TOWELS 4" above hem or 2" above border
SHEETS The bottom of the monogram should be centered about 2" above the wide
hem line on the top side of the sheet.
PILLOW CASES The monogram should be centered between the edge of the open end and
the stitching on the hem or the border pattern.
SHIRT POCKETS 1/4" to 1/2" down from the pocket edge and centered between seams
SHIRT CUFFS 1-3/8 “ toward the button hole (from center) and 1/4" above the top stitch-

Backing
The use of backing materials and/or toppings will enhance the embroidery. The type of
backing needed is determined by the fabric being embroidered. In most cases, backing will be
needed to prevent stitches from pulling and distorting the garment. Backing materials give
strength to unstable fabrics (knits) and a better appearance on woven fabrics (less puckering
and pulling).
Fabrics fit into three general categories

Wovens Non-stretch materials such as satin jackets, towels, denim and canvas.

Knits Stretch materials such as sweaters, sweatshirts, jerseys and T-shirts.

Special Non-woven, non-knit materials such as felt, leather or suede.

Backings are used with all knits and stretch fabrics, as well as with most thin or sheer fabrics.

Backing Guidelines
A loose knit fabric can be embroidered, but without selecting proper stitch density and
backing, the garment can be stretched and possibly cut. The operator’s concern is to keep
fabrics from stretching, puckering, or popping through the stitches during sewing. In general,
thinner garments, need more stable backing.
Backings range from very lightweight tearaway to heavyweight cutaway, from iron-on to
non-adhesive. All serve different purposes. The most universal backings are medium-weight
tearaway or cutaway types.
Too much backing is just as bad as not enough. Use one piece of medium-weight backing or
two pieces of lightweight backing as a general rule. Heavier fabrics generally have a tighter
weave and will need less backing.
Backing should be cut to completely fit in the hoop, not just as a strip to fit across the center
of the hoop. When working with an open weave fabric that should not move or gather, using
spray adhesive on the backing will help keep the two together, adding stability.

1- 19 Machine Basics BEVT Series Mechanical Guide

 Tearaway Tearaway is a non-woven material that provides some of
the stability of Softouch, but can be torn away like paper. It
is used with non-stretch fabrics. It is hooped in the same
manner as Softouch, but it is not strong enough for heavier
knits or stretchy materials. Tearaway gives body to thin
materials and is well suited for nylon jackets, blouses,
sheets, etc. It will help reduce puckering and pulling on
these fabrics.

Cutaway Cutaway backings include a large assortment of fabrics:

heavy nonwovens to stiff, woven cotton buckram; crinoline
to supple, woven nylon polyester. A cutaway backing is a
fuller product and provides more support than tearaway
backing. Cutaway backings are generally more expensive
but are more popular with experienced operators.

No-Show Transparent backing used for light colored knit and stretch
fabrics.

Water Soluble Topping Water soluble plastic is used as a topping to prevent

stitching from getting lost in knit fabrics, keep terry cloth
loops down, and to allow greater clarification of intricate
details.

Using Water Soluble Topping

1. Place water soluble topping on top of the fabric and hoop both.
2. After the embroidery process is complete, tear away the water soluble topping.
3. Spritz very lightly with warm water to dissolve water soluble topping.
4. A soft bristle brush may be used to help remove remaining water soluble topping
particles. Pass the brush lightly over the top of embroidery to raise up the topping.
Embroidery should not be left damp or wet longer than a few minutes.

BEVT Series Mechanical Guide Machine Basics1 - 20

Needle Types
The type of needle used is determined by the type of fabric being embroidered.

Normal Point Normal point needles pierce, or split, the threads of the fabric without
cutting them. Using normal point needles results in the cleanest
possible stitch.

Ball Point Ball point needles deflect and slip between the threads of the fabric.
Ball point needles are best suited to fine knits and wovens, which have
a tendency to snag or run.

Wedge Point Wedge point needles have a cutting edge to penetrate non-woven
materials. Wedge point needles are used only for leather and similar
materials.

Needle Insertion
When the machine is received, all needles should be in place. However, from time to time, it
may be necessary to change a needle.
Replacing a Needle
1. Turn off the main power to the machine.
2. Make sure the needle bar is at the highest position by verifying that the word “TOP” is
displayed on the screen. If not, rotate the main motor pulley so the needle bar is at the
correct position.
3. Loosen the needle clamp screw located at the bottom of the needle bar and remove the
needle.
4. Insert the new needle as far up as possible. Make sure the groove on the needle is
facing the front of the sewing head. An improperly inserted needle will not only not
sew, but can damage the hook assembly.
5. Tighten the needle clamp screw to secure the needle.

Cleaning the Machine
It is important to clean the machine before oiling. Keep all areas of the machine clean of
built-up lint and dust.
• Both a soft-bristle and a stiff-bristle brush as well as a shop vac should be available for
routine cleaning.
• An air compressor is useful for cleaning hard to reach areas.
• A mild spray cleaner can be used on the table top to clean up excess oil that may
splatter when the machine is oiled.
A maintenance log, attached to the machine, is recommended. Keep a chart of the daily,
weekly, etc. maintenance performed on the machine.

Machine Lubrication
Different parts of the machine require different types of lubricants and different lubrication
frequencies. The diagrams and charts on the following pages are a guide for the lubrication
schedule necessary to keep the machine running properly.

The machine should always be turned off before it is oiled. Oiling procedures are based on
an 8 hour workday.

Bobbin Case Maintenance
In a normal production setting, the bobbin case should be cleaned/checked every 4 to 6
hours. Brush lint and dust out of the bobbin case. Failure to keep the bobbin case clean can
cause tension problems. If tension is adjusted without first removing dust and lint, the tension
spring on the bobbin case can be bent too far and the bobbin case will need to be replaced.
Cleaning the Bobbin Case
1. When the bobbin case is removed for cleaning, check the lever for wear.
2. Brush lint and dust out of the bobbin case with a small, soft-bristle brush.
3. Replace the bobbin in the bobbin case and test the tension.

Hook Assembly Maintenance

The hook assembly should be cleaned every 4 to 6 hours when the machine is used in a
normal production setting. The hook assembly should be oiled every 4 to 6 hours.
Cleaning the Hook Assembly
1.. Remove the bobbin case from the hook assembly.
2. Brush any lint or dust from the hook assembly with a small stiff-bristle brush. If you
can’t remove all the lint/dust with a brush, use compressed air to blow the hook
assembly clean.
It is best to oil at the end of the day, when the machine will be idle, so excess oil can drip off
the assembly.
Oiling the Hook Assembly
1. With all lint and dust removed from the hook assembly, place one small drop of clear
sewing machine oil in the raceway. A hypodermic oiler works best because it offers
greater control over how much oil is dispensed.
2. Sew off the machine on practice cloth to prevent oil stains on production goods.

 Take-Up Spring Replacement
After many adjustments, the take-up spring may begin to show wear. Adjusting the take-up
spring may not correct tension problems. In this case, the take-up spring will have to be
replaced.
Replacing the Take-Up Spring
1. Remove the outer tension knob, turning it counterclockwise until it comes off the
tension assembly.
2. Remove the tension spring washer from the tension assembly post.
3. Remove the inner tension knob, including the spring that rests inside it.
4. Remove the first thread disc (with white felt discs), then the green felt disc.
5. Remove the white plastic plate (flat). You may need to push on it from behind with the
blade of a flat screwdriver. Notice the position of the take-up spring in reference to the
assembly port. There is a groove in back where the spring locks in place.
6. Remove the worn take-up spring.
7. Insert the new spring, placing it in the same position as the old one. Make sure the new
spring rests against the brass post.
8. Replace the white plastic disc with the flat side facing you. Make sure it is firmly
seated on top of the brass post (it will partially cover the post) so the take-up spring
cannot go around the post. The white plastic disc traps the spring in place.
9. Replace the green felt disc.
10. Replace the thread disc with the white felt discs.
11. Replace the inner tension knob with the spring and washer resting inside it.
12. Replace the outer tension knob, turning it clockwise until it is secure, but not too tight,
on the tension assembly.
13. Adjust the new take-up spring as described earlier in manual.

3- 4 Troubleshooting BEVT Series Mechanical Guide

Hook Timing
Hook timing is probably the most misunderstood aspect of
embroidery machine mechanics. It has nothing to do with the
type of fabric or thread tension.
Hook timing is the proper position of the hook assembly in
relation to the needle in order to form a stitch. The hook is
directly attached to the drive shaft, eliminating the need to
routinely re-time it. Re-timing of the hook only becomes
necessary due to external factors.
• Something gets caught in the hook assembly.
• The size of the needle is changed by more than one size.
• An accumulation of thread behind the hook pushes the hook out of line.
The most common indication that the hook timing needs adjustment is when the machine fails
to form and complete a stitch.
Checking the Hook Timing
1. Leave the needle and bobbin threaded and
remove the throat plate.
2. Set the machine to Needle #9.
3. Remove Back Center Cover.
4. Rotate main pulley to where the indicator
points to 24 degrees. The point of the hook
should be directly behind the needle. If not,
the hook needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Main Pulley
5. Check the hook-to-needle clearance. There
should be approximately one half to one
thread-width clearance between the hook
point and the back of the needle. Improper adjustment would cause the hook point to
miss the small loop and create a skipped stitch.
6. Replace the throat plate.

BEVT Series Mechanical Guide Troubleshooting 3 - 5

 Adjusting the Hook Timing
1. Clean any thread debris or lint from the hook
area with compressed air.
2. Loosen the three screws at the rear of the
hook. This will permit advancing or retarding
the hook.
3. Remove Back Center Cover.
4. Rotate main motor pulley to where the
indicator points to 24 degrees. The point of
the hook should be directly behind the needle.
If not, the hook needs to be adjusted Main Pulley
accordingly.
5. Check the hook-to-needle clearance. There should be
approximately one half to one thread-width clearance
between the hook point and the back of the needle.
Improper adjustment would cause the hook point to
miss the small loop and create a skipped stitch.
6. When the correct position has been attained, tighten
the three screws on the hook.
7. Replace the throat plate.
8. Using a lettering or a digitizing system, create an H O X test as follows:
• Using a block alphabet, program “H O X” in capital letters, 20mm high, into the
machine. These letters are used because they encompass all the various directions of
the pantograph.
• Sew the letters.
• Check for any irregularities in the sewing. If the machine is not properly timed, it
will result in skipped stitches.

Position Finger Adjustment

The adjustable position finger is mounted in front of the hook assembly to secure the hook
basket in place and balance the bobbin thread down the center of the embroidery. The
position finger is adjustable in two directions, left to right, and front to back. Adjustment of
the position finger is required if the bobbin thread is running left or right of center, or if the
position finger was removed during the replacement of the hook assembly.
Sometimes the finger moves out of adjustment. When correct, the position finger nose, the
protruding part, lines up centered with the hook assembly shaft.

3 - 6 Troubleshooting BEVT Series Mechanical Guide

 Adjusting the Position Finger
1. Remove the throat plate.
2. Rotate the hand wheel until the needle reaches the lowest position, the bottom of its
stroke.

3. Loosen the screw slightly, taking care to use the correct size screwdriver since the
screw is very flat and easily stripped.
4. Carefully move the position finger, centering the nose to the needle. To make sure that
the needle is being looked at the needle straight on, use the lubrication hole, behind the
throat plate, as a reference. Visually line up the needle with this hole, then adjust the
position finger.
It is very critical that there is a gap between the nose and hook assembly. This gap
should be approximately .5-.75mm to allow the bobbin and top thread to pass through
this gap. Too small a gap will cause bird nesting and thread breaks.
5. Carefully re-tighten the screw.
Checking Needle Depth Manually
1. Make sure the sewing head is at Needle #1.
2. Power down the machine.
3. Open the bobbin case.
4. Remove the back center cover to gain access to the main pulley degree wheel.
5. Rotate the main pulley to where the needle is at it’s lowest point. The indicator on the
pulley should be at 0 degrees.

BEVT Series Mechanical Guide Troubleshooting 3 - 7

 6. Check that ½ of the eye of the needle can be seen below the hook basket. See
illustration below.

Note: If necessary use a small flashlight to view the needle eye.

If the eye of the needle is out of adjustment, adjust the needle depth, see Needle Depth
Adjustment.
Checking Needle Depth and Hook Timing with (optional) Gauge

The following instructions require Optional

Needle Depth Gauge Part #HB220040.
Hook timing and needle depth can be checked at
the same time using the Needle Depth Gauge.

1. Make sure the sewing head is at Needle #1.

2. Power down the machine.
3. Remove the throat plate, if checking hook
timing.
4. Remove the bobbin case.
5. Remove the back center cover to gain access to the main pulley degree wheel.

3 - 8 Troubleshooting BEVT Series Mechanical Guide

 6. Rotate the main pulley so that the indicator point to 24 degrees. This is the position for
hook timing.

Note: The hook point should be directly behind the needle. If not, see
Adjusting the Hook Timing on page 7-15.
7. Insert the needle depth gauge where the bobbin case is
inserted. The large diameter goes in first. DO NOT
FORCE THE GAUGE! The gauge should slip in easily.
Rotate the gauge gently with an upward motion if
necessary. The tip of the needle should barely rub on the
top of the gauge if the depth is adjusted properly.
Check the following:
• Make sure main pulley is set at 24 degrees.
• The needle depth is too low, if the gauge does not insert
easily and is hitting the needle point, .
• The needle depth is not deep enough, if the needle point does not touch the top of
the gauge, even with little upward motion of the gauge.
Note: If the needle depth needs to be adjusted, see the following
instructions.

BEVT Series Mechanical Guide Troubleshooting 3 - 9

 Adjusting the Needle Depth

Note: Follow the instructions for checking the needle depth first before following these
instructions.

1. Remove the middle thread guide and the front cover of the sewing head.
Note: The middle thread guide holds the front cover in place.
2. Loosen the (2) adjusting screws for the Needle Bar Driver Fixing Base, see photo.

3. Adjust the Needle Bar Fixing Base up or down accordingly to achieve the proper
needle depth. Tighten the adjusting screws when the proper depth is set.
Proper Needle Depth
• ½ the eye of the needle should be visible in the hook basket when the main pulley is
set to 0 degrees.
• When using the Optional Needle Depth Gauge, the tip of the needle should barely
touch the top of the gauge when the main pulley is set to 24 degrees.
Note: If the needle depth cannot be set correctly, the needle bar driver
needs to be removed and inspected. If the Needle Bar Driver is cracked or
bent, proper needle depth may not be possible to set. See Needle Bar Driver
Replacement
Caution: Anytime the needle bar driver is cracked or bent, it needs to be
discarded and replaced.
