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.

	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).

CAUTION

•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.
