Download a free manual from www.brother-usa.com and under support and put in your model number. E6, means that the thread is tangled, totally unthread it, now with the presser foot up, rethread, pull the top thread, now lower the presser foot and pull the thread, it should barely move. This will seat the thread in the tension discs. Read your manual before using, it will save you lots of grief. People love to skip this step, and wonder why the machine is not working right. This is one time you should take the time, it is worth it.

My baby lock lock up while sewing the needle want move up and down it is a grace it says error 6 can you help me thank you

Sewing Machine: Needle won't move
A disengaged clutch, broken drive belt or internal drive gear failure can prevent the needle from moving. Engage the hand wheel clutch if you have it disengaged for bobbin winding. If the needle won't move with the clutch engaged, unplug the sewing machine and check the drive belt.

The bottom thread keeps bunching up and stalls the machine with the #E6. How can I fix?

Suspect the top thread is not seated completely in the tension disk.

Remove the top thread from the machine.
ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning.
Verify the thread path is correct.

Test your machine.

You can also look in the troubleshooting section of the manual for what the E6 code means.

E6 code for brother xr7700

E6 means the machine is seizing somewhere and the motor is working too hard to turn the hard-to-turn machine. Get is serviced before it seized completely and the cost of repair goes even higher.

I keep getting the E6 (tangled thread) message on my Brother CS600 when I try to sew. I have check for tangled thread and cannot find any. Could it be that the bobbin case needs to be replaced? It seems...

is the bobbin case damaged in any way?
try turning off the machine & unplugging it & then replug it back up & turn it on & see if that clears the computer parts of the machine
if it still shows a E6, then you can replace the bobbin case or you might even consider having it serviced

Ihave anerror E6 and I can no find the problem

Hi! The E6 error means the thread is tangled. I suggest you completely unthread the machine, including the bobbin. clean out any lint or bits of thread in the bobbin area, and carefully rethread.
Hope this helps!

Brother Sewing Machine CS-100

actually e2 is the button hole lever being down. e6 means that the thread is tangled and to prevent the motor from overheating the machine automatically stops. All you have to do is re-thread the machine and take the bobbin out, untangle it and put it back in and sew. This usually works. If it keeps happening, there could be a few things wrong.

1. if you are using thick fabric your tension should be lower. normal tension is 5.

2. your machine is out of alignment. take it in to a service center, they can fix it in 5 minutes. to find a service center near you go to http://www.brother-usa.com/service/

3. your needle is old or bent and should be replaced.

4. Your needle is too thick, standard is 80. The thicker the fabric, the thicker the needle.
