EMBROIDERY —————————————————————————————————————————————

Preparing the Fabric

After attaching a stabilizer material to the embroidery fabric, it is stretched on an embroidery frame.

Attaching a stabilizer material to the fabric

Attach a stabilizer material for embroidery to the fabric to prevent poor quality embroidery designs.

Memo

zWe recommend the optional stabilizer material for embroidery. Use a water soluble sheet on thin materials like organdy and fabrics with a nap like towels.

To obtain optional accessories or parts, visit [http://www.brother.com/], or [http:// www.brothermall.com] (in USA).

CAUTION

●Always use stabilizer material when sewing embroidery projects. The needle may break or bend if you embroider without using a stabilizer material for thin fabrics or stretch fabrics. Furthermore, the pattern may be sewn incorrectly.

For fabrics, such as towels, which cannot be ironed or for embroidering in places where ironing is difficult, place the stabilizer material under the fabric, and stretch the fabric in the embroidery frame without attaching the stabilizer.
