Embroidery
Important Embroidery information
Embroidery threads
A good quality thread is essential for embroidery to avoid poor
stitch formation, thread breakage, etc.
Embroidery is particularly effective if you use 40wt glossy
rayon or polyester embroidery threads as upper threads. They
are available in a wide range of colors for beautiful embroidery.
Polyester threads
Polyester with a brilliant sheen is a hard wearing colorfast
thread and has a high tensile strength which is suitable for all
types of embroidery.
Rayon threads
Rayon is a soft viscose fiber with a brilliant sheen and suitable
for fine, delicate embroidery, or items that will not receive
excessive wear and tear.
Metallic threads
Metallic thread is a light- to medium weight thread suitable for
special effects in embroidery.
Reduce the speed and the upper thread tension when
embroidering with metallic threads.
Embroidery needle
•
Correct size thread must correspond with correct size
needle.
•
Replace the needle regularly.
Use the vertical spool pin and attach the supplemental
thread guide (optional accessory) when using metallic or
specialty threads. A Metafil 130/705H-MET need is recom-
mended for embroidering with metallic threads. Adjust upper
thread tension and reduce the embroidery speed.
