Important Embroidery Information
Embroidery threads
One of the most important elements in successful embroidery is the quality of the thread. We strongly recommend that
you purchase thread from a reputable BERNINA dealer in order to avoid irregularities, thread breakage, etc. which so
often occurs with poor quality threads.
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. It is suitable for all
types of embroidery, especially children’s clothing and
items which will be washed often or subject to much wear
and tear.
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 wrapped polyester thread
Metallic thread is a light- to medium weight thread suitable
for special effects in embroidery.

Bobbin-Fil (special bobbin thread)
Bobbin-Fil is an especially soft and light polyester thread
suitable for bobbin thread. This special bobbin thread
ensures a steady thread tension and an optimal intertwi-
ning of the upper and bobbin thread. The thread produces
even stitching on both, the right and wrong side of the
fabric.
Darning and embroidery thread
