Embroidering neatly
What is necessary before embroidering will be explained here.

What to prepare

The following is necessary for embroidering.
■Fabric
Prepare the fabric for embroidery. Prepare a pi ece
of fabric a little larger than the embroidery frame
that matches the size of the pattern you want to
sew.
Note
zAlways use stabilizer when sewing
embroidery projects, especially when
embroidering on lightweight or stretch
fabrics. Not using a stabilizer may result in
poor quality embroidery designs.
zWhen 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
■Stabilizer material
Attach a stabilizer material for embroidery to the
fabric to prevent poor quality embroidery designs.
We recommend stabilizer material for
embroidery. Use a water soluble sheet on thin
materials like organdy and fabrics with a nap like
towels.
■Embroidery thread
For the upper thread, use the embroidery thread
or country thread.
For the bobbin thread, use the embroidery bobbin
thread.
Note
zFor good quality embroidery designs be sure
to use embroidery thread designed for
embroidery machines.
zBefore 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.
Memo
zTwo thread cassettes for setting up
embroidery thread are included. It is
convenient if the next color to embroider is
set up in another embroidery thread cassette
while the one is embroidering.
●Do not embroider fabrics that are too
thick. To check the fabric thickness,
attach the embroidery frame to the
embroidery unit, and use the "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.
