SEWING AN EMBROIDERY PATTERN

Embroidery Attractive Finishes

There are many factors that go into beautiful embroidery. Using the appropriate stabilizer (see page E-11)

and hooping the fabric in the frame (see page E-13) are two important factors mentioned earlier. Another

important point is the appropriateness of the needle and thread being used. See the explanation of threads

below.

Thread

Upper thread Use embroidery thread intended for use with this machine.

Other embroidery threads may not yield optimum results.

Bobbin thread Use embroidery bobbin thread intended for use with this machine.

Memo

• If you use threads other than those listed above, the embroidery may not sew out correctly.

You can adjust thread tension with the screw on the bobbin case. Included bobbin case varies depending

on the type of machine. See the explanation of bobbin case types below.

Bobbin case (for the embroidery

and sewing machine)

a Standard bobbin case

(green marking on the screw)

Alternate bobbin case

(no color on the screw)

See "Cleaning the Race" of "Appendix" for how to remove the bobbin case.

• When embroidering on large garments (especially jackets or other heavy fabrics), do not let the fabric

hang over the table. Otherwise, the embroidery unit cannot move freely and the embroidery frame may

strike the needle, causing the needle to bend or break and possibly cause injury.

Place the fabric so that it does not hang off the table or hold the fabric to keep it from dragging.

Note

• Before embroidering, check that there is enough thread in the bobbin. If you start to sew your

embroidery project without enough thread in the bobbin, you will need to rewind the bobbin in the

middle of the embroidery pattern.

• Do not leave objects in the range of motion of the embroidery frame. The frame may strike the object

and cause a poor finish to the embroidery pattern.

• When embroidering on large garments (especially jackets or other heavy fabrics), do not let the fabric

hang over the table. Otherwise, the embroidery unit cannot move freely, and the pattern may not turn

out as planned.

Standard bobbin case (green marking on the screw) originally installed in the machine has a green

marking on the screw. Do not adjust green marked screw.

Alternate bobbin case (no color on the screw) is set with tighter tension for embroidery with

different weights of bobbin threads and a variety of embroidery techniques. This bobbin case is

identified with a dark colored mark on the inside of the bobbin cavity. The screw on this case can

be adjusted if necessary (see page E-31).

The bobbin case (no color on the screw) is installed in the machine. We recommend using the

included embroidery bobbin thread. The screw on this case can be adjusted if necessary (see page

E-31).
