Embroidering Attractive Finishes
Many factors are involved in achieving a beautiful embroidery result. Using the appropriate stabilizer and hooping the fabric in the frame 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.
Attaching Iron-on Stabilizers (Backing) to the Fabric
Hooping the Fabric in the Embroidery Frame
Thread | Upper thread | Use embroidery thread intended for use with this machine. |
Bobbin thread | Use the included embroidery bobbin thread or recommended embroidery bobbin thread. |
If you use threads other than those listed above, the embroidery may not embroider out correctly.
Bobbin case (recommended for embroidering with included 90 weight bobbin thread)
- Bobbin case (no color on the screw)
The included bobbin case is set for 90 weight bobbin thread. If you use different weights of bobbin thread, the tension screw on this bobbin case can be adjusted if necessary.
CAUTIONWhen embroidering on large items (especially jackets or quilts), do not let the fabric hang off of the table. Otherwise, the embroidery unit cannot move freely and the embroidery frame may strike the needle, causing the needle to break and possibly causing injury.
Embroidery Needle Plate Cover
Under some conditions, based on the type of fabric, stabilizer, or thread being used, there may be some looping in the upper thread. In this case, attach the included embroidery needle plate cover to the needle plate. Attach the cover by inserting the two projections on the underside of the cover into the notches on the needle plate as shown below.
- Groove
- Projection
- Notch
To remove the embroidery needle plate cover, place your fingernail in the groove and lift the plate out.
CAUTIONPush the embroidery needle plate cover as far as possible to attach it. If the embroidery needle plate cover is not securely attached, it may cause the needle to break and cause injury.
