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

Embroidering Neatly

This section describes the preparations and basic procedures for embroidering.

What to prepare

The following is necessary for embroidering.

■Fabric

Prepare the fabric for embroidery. Prepare a piece of fabric a little larger than the embroidery frame that matches the size of the pattern you want to sew.

Note

￿Always use stabilizer when sewing embroidery projects, especially when embroidering on lightweight or stretch fabrics.

￿When embroidering on large pieces of fabric, arrange the fabric so that it does not hang off the table where the sewing machine is placed. If embroidery is done with the fabric hanging off, the embroidery unit movement may be impaired, this could cause the pattern to sew incorrectly.

CAUTION

●Do not embroider fabrics that are too thick. To check the fabric thickness, attach the embroidery frame to the

embroidery unit, and use (Needle position button) to raise the needle. If there is space between the presser foot and the fabric, the fabric can be embroidered. If there is not space, do not embroider the fabric. Otherwise, the needle may break, resulting in injury.

●Be careful when sewing overlapping patterns. The needle may not easily pierce the fabric, causing the needle to break.

■Stabilizer material (option)

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

Use a water soluble sheet on thin materials like organdy and fabrics with a nap like towels.

For details, refer to "Attaching a stabilizer material to the fabric" (page 144).

■Embroidery thread (option)

For the upper thread, use the embroidery thread or country thread.

For the bobbin thread, use the embroidery bobbin thread. For details, refer to "Optional accessories" (page 10).

Memo

￿For good quality embroidery designs be sure to use embroidery thread designed for embroidery machines.

￿Before starting to sew, be sure there is enough bobbin thread. If you continue embroidering when the bobbin thread is low, the thread may become tangled.

■Needle

Use a 75/11 home sewing machine needle. When embroidering on thick fabrics such as denim, use a 90/14 home sewing machine needle.

Memo

￿A 75/11 needle is already installed when the sewing machine is purchased.

￿When replacing the needle, refer to "Replacing the needle" (page 41).

CAUTION

●Since ball point needles (gold colored) are needles for fabrics where stitches are easily skipped, such as pattern stitching and stretch fabrics, be absolutely sure not to use them for embroidery. The needle may break or bend.

■Other

Embroidery frames "small" and "large" are optional. For details, refer to "Setting the fabric in the embroidery frame" (page 145).
