Error message foot too high. To correct this, it is necessary to restart the machine. Unless it is impossible to continue sewing.What is the problem?

If you're encountering a "Presser Foot Too High" error despite the foot being down, check for potential issues. Ensure the machine is threaded correctly, the needle is not bent, and the presser foot is securely attached. Verify if there's any fabric or thread caught in the mechanism. Additionally, consult the machine's manual for troubleshooting steps or contact the manufacturer's customer support. If the problem persists, it might indicate a mechanical issue that requires professional inspection. In some cases, recalibrating the machine or updating its software may resolve the error. Always follow safety guidelines and turn off the machine before attempting any adjustments. click

This could be an easy fix or not. The error indicates that the sewing machine can't communicate with the foot controller. A new foot control is ~$30, https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/babylock-blmsp-soprano-sewing-machine-parts.aspx?index=104 . Unfortunately, the problem could be the jack or the control board on the sewing machine. Unless you have the electronics skills to ground yourself to the sewing machine (and safely discharge high energy capacitors), you may need to take this to a qualified sewing machine repair professional.

I hope this helps.

Lower the pressure foot lever before continuing the operation. If the error message does not disappear, press the stitch selection key while the error message is displayed. Hope this works.

Make sure you lower the presser foot before continuing the operation.

The foot controller was pressed (or the start/stop button

was pressed if the foot controller is not connected)

and the reverse/reinforcement stitch button
was pressed while the presser foot was raised.

A stitch other than the buttonhole or bar tack stitch was selected and the foot controller was pressed (or the start/stop button was pressed if the foot controller is not connected) while the buttonhole lever is lowered.


Raise the buttonhole lever before continuing the operation.
Note Each time a key pressed or an incorrect operation is performed, a beep is sounded.

• For a correct operationOne beep is sounded.
• If an incorrect operation is performedTwo or four beeps are sounded.
• If the machine locks up, for example, because the thread is tangledThe sewing machine continues to beep for four seconds.
  The machine automatically stops.
  Be sure to check for the cause of the error, and correct it before continuing

you may need to check the switch in the foot presser

try lowering the pressure foot and the needle and then raise them
again and then restart the machine, and if that doen't clear the
error message then it's time to service the machine.

my book show the FC stands for Foot Control
have you tryed repluging the foot control into the machine to see if that stops the problem
if you have & it didn't stop the problem
then I agree you need a new foot control
