Memo
• Place a sheet of paper under the presser foot to
smoothly pass the yarn threader through the hole in
embroidery couching foot “Y”.
Note
• Do not use the spool stand for upper thread.
Otherwise thread may tangle with yarn.
Memo
• For best results, use an upper thread that is the
same color as the yarn.
CAUTION
• Pulling the yarn upwards may cause it to catch
on the needle, causing it to break. Be careful
not to allow the yarn to catch on the needle.
Note
• Before embroidering, make sure that there is
enough yarn, upper thread and bobbin thread.
• Make sure that the yarn passes smoothly through
the guides. Unravel as much yarn from the ball as
necessary so that the yarn does not become taut.
• Use yarn that has no knots.
Memo
• When using a high-density yarn, the upper thread
tension may be disturbed. If this happens, it is
possible to improve it by raising the [Embroidery
Foot Height] by about 1 mm on the settings screen.
