EMBROIDERY
Embroidering
After the preparations are done, you can try embroidering. This section describes the steps for embroidering and appliquéing.
Embroidering attractive finishes
There are many factors that go into sewing beautiful embroidery. Using the appropriate stabilizer (page 42) and hooping the fabric in the frame (page 43) 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.

Memo
zIf you use threads other than those listed above, the pattern may not turn out correctly.
Note
zBefore embroidering, check that there is enough thread in the bobbin. If you continue embroidering without enough thread in the bobbin, the thread may tangle.
zDo 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.
zWhen 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.
