software for swf 1501c embroidery machine

It appears the head moves very well through its full range of motion except during the transition from far right to far left during the embroidery process. We also ran each needle setting through a series of moves from 1 to 2 to 3 etc etc and multiple variations as well with no grinding sound. The head then moved from the far right to the far left with no issues suggesting the issue only occurs during the embroidery process. The sound was a very long and loud grinding sound (like plastic gears slipping) and the head being unable to finish its move to the left resulting in needle mis-allignment.įor the next shirt we stopped the machine after needle 2 was finished, reset the design, and fast forwarded (jumped) to needle 1. The worst sound which became an error code 300 was when needle 2 was selected to end at the far right and needle 1 was selected to begin at the far left. All other moves in the middle of the artwork are done with no problem. The noise occurs after the thread has been cut and the head moves from the far right of an artwork to the far left of the artwork (artwork being 3' x 3'). We bought the machine in South Africa so having it serviced here in Malawi is either very expensive to fly someone here or non-existant so I am turning here for help.Īttached is a 6 second video showing the grinding noise that the SWF has developed. Recently the machine has developed a grinding noise in the head. We own a single head SWF and like it quite a bit.

We support ourselves by teaching and running a couple of small businesses one of which is a small print shop that does embroidery.

My wife is a clinical director here and I am a teacher/small business owner.

My family and I are missionaries to Malawi Africa. This is my first post so by way of introduction my name is David Epperson.
