Bobbin Thread
In most cases black or white bobbin thread is used for embroidering. When both sides should have the same
look, it is recommended to use the same color for bobbin and upper thread.
• Bobbin Fill is an especially soft and light polyster thread which is suited to be used as bobbin thread. This
special bobbin thread ensures a steady thread tension and an optimal intertwining of the upper and
bobbin thread.
• Darning and embroidery threads are fine mercerized cotton threads which are suitable for embroidery on
cotton.
Choosing the Embroidery Design
Simple designs with a low stitch count are suitable for embroidery on fine material. Densely embroidered
designs, e. g. embroidered designs with multiple color and embroidery direction changes, are suitable for
medium and heavy-weight material.
Embroidery Test
For the embroidery test, always use the original material reinforced with the same stabilizer as will be used
later. For the embroidery test it is recommended to use the same colors, threads and needles which are
planned to be used for the embroidery project.
Embroidering Designs by Third-party Providers
bernette recommends loading an embroidery design in any file format onto a USB stick via the free «ART-
Link» program. Using «ART-Link» ensures that the embroidery design can be read and embroidered
correctly. «ART-Link» can be downloaded for free at

Underlay Stitches
Underlay stitches are the foundation of a motif and are used to stabilize the base material and hold it in
shape. They also prevent the covering stitches of the motif from sinking into the knit or the nap of the
material.
