Embroidery
CAUTION
• When using yarn, we recommend selecting
yarn of weight 4 (MEDIUM ). Medium
yarn is often referred to as worsted weight, 20
knitted stitches per 10cm, or 9-11 wraps per
inch. The diameter of the yarn is
approximately 2-3 mm (1/12-1/8 inch). If the
yarn is extremely thin or thick, has an unusual
shape (flat or furry), or more than 2 yarns, the
best finishing results may not be achieved, or
injuries or damage may result.
Note
• Before embroidering your project, do trial
embroidery on a scrap piece of fabric that is
the same as that used in your project.
CAUTION
• When using embroidery couching foot “Y”,
make sure the machine is in embroidery
mode. Otherwise, the needle will strike the
embroidery couching foot, causing the needle
to break and possibly causing injury.
