Pfaff 7560 won't take Enter key

You should not place the hoop into the embroidery unit of the Creative 7560 until you see a prompt "Cover and insert frame 120" (or 80 if using the small hoop) on the LCD display. See https://www.manualslib.com/manual/504999/Pfaff-Creative-7560.html?page=91#manual . This allows the sewing machine to freely test/calibrate the embroidery unit. Other Pfaff machines, for example the Pfaff Creative 3.0, prompt you to remove the hoop and clear the embroidery unit area for it to do this step. (For this information see page 7:3 (75 of the PDF) of the Creative 3.0 manual: http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/creative-line/creative3_0/Manual/creative_3_0-manual-EN.pdf .)

I hope this helps.

I haven't found any real instructions for using the grand dream hoop. Pfaff has some tricks for using the hoop in their blog about the large, turnable hoop here: http://www.pfaff.com/en-US/Inspiration/PFAFF-Blog/February-2015/The-Grand-Dream-Hoop . There is a document for using the Pfaff 5D embroidery software to prepare an embroidery design for the Creative Grand Dream Hoop: http://www.donssewing.com/images/Pfaff_Creative_Grand_Dream_Hoop.pdf . Most of these directions will apply to the 4D and 6D programs.

I hope this helps. Beyond that, I suspect setting up the hoop in the embroidery unit is the same for all Pfaff hoops.

My Pfaff 7560 had done the same thing. It was determined that the mother board needed replacing. For either machine the part alone is around 600 bucks provided that one can be found. Labor wasn't factored in. I decided that if I was to invest that much money in repairs that I would buy a certified used machine that uses current technology. The 7560/7570's software doesn't work under Windows 7 or 8.

The format that is used by the 7570 and the 7560 is *.pcs or *.dst. Either one will work provided that the designs are within the confines of the hoop. The largest size design that would be embroidered by this machine would be 115 x 120 MM.

try contacting pfaff customer & ask them if a pfaff dealer would carry them

I have the sewing manual for the 1471 but I am looking for the embroidery book which I don't have. Could we trade?

I have somewhere that installation diskette (with the old SW version). If I'm not mistaken it was not included with the sewing machine but sold separately with the embrodery arm that we bought together with it some 10 years ago. Email me to [email protected] if you need more help.

Try turning the machine off, removing the unit and then placing it back before turning the power on again.
