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 well 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 motif
Simple motifs with a low stitch count are suitable for embroidery on fine material. Densely embroidered
motifs, e. g. embroidered motifs with multiple color and embroidery direction changes, are suitable for
medium and heavy-weight material.
Selecting the embroidery file format
In order that embroidery motifs can be read by the BERNINA Embroidery machine, they have to be created
by the BERNINA Embroidery Software and exported as .EXP file. Besides the actual embroidery file, a .BMP
file and an .INF file are generated additionally. The .BMP file allows a preview of the embroidery motif and
the .INF file provides the information on the thread colors.
Please note:
If the .INF file is missing, the
embroidery motif cannot be displayed in the real color but only in standard colors. In this case, the colors can
be entered manually in the color overview of the motif on the machine.
Additionally, following embroidery formats can be read by the machine: .PES, .PEC, .XXX, .PCS, .JEF
and .DST. BERNINA International AG provides no guarantee that embroidery motifs which have not been
created or converted by a BERNINA Embroidery Software can be correctly read and embroidered.
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.
The size of the embroidery motif
Embroidery motifs can be enlarged or downsized on the embroidery machine or on the PC using the
BERNINA Embroidery software (optional accessory). Enlargements or reductions up to 20% achieve the best
results.
Embroidering motifs by third-party providers
BERNINA recommends uploading embroidery motifs of any file format via the free program «ART-Link» to
the machine or a USB stick. «ART-Link» ensures that embroidery designs are read and embroidered correctly.
«ART-Link» can be downloaded for free at
