12.4 Important Embroidery Information
Upper Thread
A good quality thread (name-brand manufacturer) is essential for embroidery so that the embroidery is not
affected negatively because of poor thread or thread breakage.
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 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 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 thread is a light to medium-weight thread suitable for special effects in embroidery.
• When working with metallic threads, the automatic bobbin thread cutter should be deactivated. The
other thread cutters shouldn't be used either because the knives are likely to wear off very quickly.
• When using metallic threads, the speed and the upper thread tension should be reduced.
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.
