EMBROIDERING TUTORIAL ——————————————————————————————————————————————

Upper thread recommendations

Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the upper thread.

Note

It is recommended that rayon or polyester embroidery thread be used (120 den x 2 / 135 dtex x 2 / 40 weight (in Americas and Europe) / #50 (in Japan)).

Fabric recommendations

Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the fabric.

Note

Your machine can embroider fabric that is up to 1 mm (3/8 inch) thick. If thicker fabric is sewn, the needle may bend or break.

When embroidering overlapping stitches, it is difficult for the needle to penetrate the fabric, possibly resulting in the needle bending or breaking.

Note

Attach stabilizers to thin or stretch fabrics. (Refer to “Attaching Iron-On Stabilizer (Backing) to Fabric” on page 66 for information)

When embroidering large pieces of fabric, make sure that the fabric is not caught in the carriage.

Display recommendations

Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the use of the display.

Note

Only touch the display with your finger or included touch pen. Do not use a mechanical pencil, screwdriver or any other hard or sharp object. In addition, do not apply extreme pressure to the display screen, otherwise damage to the display screen may result.

All or part of the display screen may sometimes become darker or lighter due to temperature changes. This is not a sign of a malfunction. If the display is difficult to read, adjust its brightness. (Refer to “If the LCD cannot be read” on page 213.)

The display may be dark immediately after the embroidery machine is turned on. This is a normal characteristic of the backlight and is not a sign of a malfunction. After approximately 10 minutes, the display should reach its normal level of brightness.

If you are not directly facing the display, the colors may be distorted or the display may be difficult to read. This is a normal characteristic of the display and is not a malfunction. Be sure to sit in front of the display while using it.
