Embroidering Attractive Finishes
Many factors are involved in achieving a beautiful embroidery
result. Using the appropriate stabilizer (page 55) and hooping
the fabric in the frame (page 56) 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.
Bobbin case (recommended for embroidering with included
90 weight bobbin thread)
1
Bobbin case
The included bobbin case is set for 90 weight bobbin thread.
When you use different weights of bobbin thread, the tension
screw on this bobbin case can be adjusted if necessary. For
details, refer to “Adjusting the Bobbin Case” on page 78.

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.
To remove the embroidery needle plate cover, place your
fingernail in the groove and lift the plate out.

Memo
• If you use threads other than those listed above,
the embroidery may not embroider out correctly.
CAUTION
• When 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.
