SEWING AN EMBROIDERY PATTERN

Sewing Attractive Finishes

There are many factors that go into sewing beautiful embroidery. Using the appropriate stabilizer fabric (see page 5-20)and setting the fabric in the frame (see page 5-21)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, or country embroidery thread intended for
		use with this machine.
	Bobbin thread	Use embroidery bobbin thread intended for use with this machine.

Note

If you use threads other than those listed above, the embroidery may not sew out correctly.

CAUTION

•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 a space between the presser foot and the fabric, the fabric can be embroidered. If there is no space, do not embroider the fabric. Otherwise, the needle may break, resulting in injury.

•In the case of thick terry cloth towels we recommend that you place a piece of water soluble stabilizer on the top surface of the towel. This will help to reduce the nap of the toweling and result in more attractive embroidery.

•Be careful when sewing overlapping patterns. The needle may not easily pierce the fabric, causing the needle to break.

CAUTION

•Before embroidering, check that there is enough thread in the bobbin. If you continue sewing without enough thread in the bobbin, the thread may tangle.

•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 can not move freely, and the pattern may not turn out as planned.

Under some conditions based on the type of fabric, stabi- lizer or thread being used there may be some looping in the upper thread. In this case, attach the included needle plate cover to the needle plate. To remove the needle plate cover, place your fingernail in the groove and lift the plate out.

CAUTION

Push in the needle plate cover for embroidery as far as possible to attach. If the needle plate cover is not securely attached, it may cause the needle to break.
