• Removing Module
- Remove cable plug from sewing/embroidery computer
- Lift slightly and slide the module to the left
Prepare for Embroidery
• Presser Foot
- Attach Embroidery Foot #15 to the machine (
artista
only)
• Needles
- Use the proper needle for the thread and fabric being used
- Insert a new needle at the beginning of each project
- Needle should be in the highest position when attaching
the hoop to prevent snagging fabric and/or bending needle
• Straight Stitch Plate (optional accessory for
artista
)
- Prevents flagging of fabric, resulting in improved stitching
• Bobbin
- Use the Gold Latch Bobbin Case (
artista
185E & 200E only),
threading the “pigtail” for increased bobbin thread tension
- Thread the “finger” of the bobbincase (
artista
165E only) if
needed for increased bobbin thread tension
Threading
• Thread machine wtih the presser foot up (this releases tension)
• Thread using either the horizontal or vertical spool pin
- Horizontal spool pin is for use with cross-wound threads
- match disc size to end of spool
- smallest disc fits into the end of large cones/spools
such as Isacord embroidery thread
- Vertical spool pin is for use with stacked threads
- also for some decorative threads (metallic threads)
- use supplemental thread guide as needed to control
problematic threads
• Multiple Spool Holder (optional; available for
Deco
&
artista
)
- attaches to the back of the machine
- holds up to 13 thread spools
