Required Materials
■
Bobbin case and bobbin cover
a
Bobbin case (gray)
There is a notch at the location indicated by the
letter “A”.
a
Bobbin cover
There are two small v-shaped tabs on the back of
the bobbin cover as indicated by the letter “B”.
The tabs help hold the bobbin in place so it does
not lift up while thick thread is being pulled
through.
■
Lower thread
We recommend the following types of threads for
bobbin work.
* When wide ribbon or heavy weight threads are being used, we
recommend test sewing with and without bobbin case tension
being applied to see which gives the best stitching results.
If wide ribbon such as 3.5mm (approx. 1/8 inch) is to be used,
we recommend that bobbin case tension not be applied. Refer
to page 363 for more detailed instructions.
■
Upper thread
Upper thread choices can vary depending on the
finished look you would like to achieve. By using
sewing machine embroidery thread (polyester),
multipurpose polyester thread, or monofilament
(transparent nylon) thread the appearance of a single
design can be changed many times just by choosing
a different upper thread weight and/or color.
If you do not wish for the upper thread to be visible,
we recommend using transparent nylon
monofilament thread or polyester light weight
thread (50wt. or above) that is the same color as the
lower thread.
■
Needle
Use a needle appropriate for the upper thread and
fabric being used. Refer to “Fabric/Thread/Needle
Combinations” on page 75 and “Embroidery Step by
Step” on page 196.

Monogramming foot “N”
Free motion sewing: Free motion quilting foot “C”,
Free motion open toe quilting foot “O” or Free
