Embroidery machine question
OK,
I'm looking for some help here please!
I have a new embroidery machine that I have hardly used other than the beginner/learning classes several months ago, and one label I made in the spring.
So today, I pull it out to make a label for a quilt and no matter what I do, the embroidery unit insists on starting the embroidery too far to the right, such that it would hit the right edge of the frame if I let it sew.
I have tried changing designs, reloading designs, different hoop sizes. In the event that the problem was related to "my designing" vs the machine, I choose a design that was prepopulated in the machine library and set it up per the screen directions to sew it - it too wanted to start too far to the right (coincidentally almost exactly the same place).
I cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong, and I have abandoned a stitched label for this quilt due to time constraints.
My dealer is 90 minutes away, and they are closed today and Mondays......
Any ideas or thoughts appreciated. The machine is a Husqvarna Designer Ruby Royale
Thanking all of you in advance for any help....

Otherwise it could be your machine/embroidery unit got knocked out of time, which would require a trip to your dealer.

Check your label on your computer -- is it centered in the hoop? If your label is centered in the hoop, re-calibrate your embroidery arm. Your manual will tell you what to do. I have a HV Designer Diamond.

Try turning off your machine for a few minutes and then turn it back on. The machine will first calibrate it, now my machine will tell me if my design won't fit my hoop but all may not so make sure you have the correct hoop selected and also make sure your hoop is all the way in the slots. Like I said, some machines tell you these things others do not. Most of the time when my goes off balance like this is because the hoop has hit something and misaligned it. Shutting off would be the first thing to try.

I have a Husqvarna Designer Diamond Royale and mine tells me what hoop to use, it wont work with the wrong hoop, it sounds like yours has been knocked out of calibration some how. Look at your book and see if you can calibrate the screen. I can mine. If that don't solve your problem you will have to take it in.

The embroidery unit has been calibrated each attempt and the hoop is the size the machine selected based on my design. I have not knocked the unit and it isn't encountering any obstructions.
Thank you for all these ideas though.
I will check about centering the design, I thought I had done that but maybe not.....

Are you sure it's just not taking a tacking stitch before it starts? Also..if you have checked the option to baste the design, the machine will put down a basting stitch just inside your frame all the way around, then move to the center and start your design.
Next time you set it up and it positions itself too far to the right, take your hand wheel and slowly rotate it to see if the needle will actually touch your frame, or if it will land just inside.
If it touches...check your needle position..you may have it set to the right?
If it doesn't touch, let it stitch..slowly..and see what it's doing..on scraps first.
