Ensure the USB drive is formatted in FAT32 and is not larger than 32GB. Also, check if the drive is properly inserted and try a different USB port if available. Restart the machine and attempt to read the USB drive again.

Check if the fabric is hooped correctly and the stabilizer is appropriate for the fabric type. Ensure the design is appropriate for the hoop size and that all threads are threaded correctly. Also, inspect the needle for any damage or wear.
Routinely clean the machine to remove lint and dust, particularly around the needle plate and bobbin area. Oil the machine as per the manufacturer's instructions, and have it serviced by a professional annually to maintain optimal performance.
Turn off the machine and remove the presser foot. Loosen the needle clamp screw using a screwdriver, then remove the old needle. Insert the new needle with the flat side facing the back and tighten the clamp securely.
Stop the machine and check the threading path for any tangles or breaks. Re-thread the machine if necessary and ensure the bobbin is correctly loaded. Check the needle for any bends or damage and replace if needed.
