	or country thread.
z 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.

		For the bobbin thread, use the embroidery bobbin
		thread. For details, refer to "Optional Accessories"
