Bobbin Work Free Motion Sewing
■
For bobbin work free motion sewing use the
instructions for “CREATING BOBBIN
WORK (SEWING)” on page 10.
■
For information about using the free motion
quilting foot “C”, free motion open toe
quilting foot “O”, or free motion echo
quilting foot “E” refer to “Free-Motion
Quilting” located in the machine’s
Instruction and Reference Guide.
■
If so desired, use a template or draw your
design on the stabilizer to allow for ease of
stitching. Remember, your stitches with your
decorative thread will be on the underneath
side of your fabric and the stabilizer will be
on the top of the wrong side of your fabric.
Note
• Do not press the “Thread Cutter” button to cut the
threads, otherwise the machine may be damaged.
Note
• If it is difficult to place bobbin thread through the eye
of a hand sewing needle, use a ribbon embroidery
needle to pull the thread up to the wrong side of the
fabric. Otherwise, use an awl to pull up the bobbin
thread.
Note
• To ensure threads do not come undone after being
tied place a drop of fabric glue on knots.
