Embroidering

After the preparations are done, you can try embroidering. This section describes the steps for embroidering and appliquéing.

Note

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

z 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	2
out as planned.
