Embroidering Attractive Finishes
There are many factors that go into sewing
beautiful embroidery. Using the appropriate
stabilizer (see page 256) and hooping the fabric in
the frame (see page 257) are two important factors
mentioned earlier. Another important point is the
appropriateness of the needle and thread being
used. See the explanation of threads below.
Included with this machine are two bobbin cases.
Follow the explanation below.
Bobbin case (recommended for sewing and for
embroidering with included 60 weight bobbin
thread)
a Standard bobbin case (green marking on the
screw)
Standard bobbin case originally installed in the
machine has a green marking on the screw. We
recommend using the included embroidery
bobbin thread with this bobbin case. Do not adjust
the tension screw on this bobbin case with the
green marked screw.
Bobbin case (for prewound or other embroidery
bobbin threads)
a Bobbin case (no color on the screw)
The bobbin case with no color on the screw is set
with tighter tension for embroidery with different
weights of bobbin threads and a variety of
embroidery techniques. This bobbin case is
identified with a dark colored mark on the inside
of the bobbin cavity. The tension screw on this
case can be adjusted if necessary.

Memo
• If you use threads other than those listed
above, the embroidery may not sew out
correctly.
CAUTION
• When embroidering on large garments
(especially jackets or other heavy fabrics), do
not let the fabric hang over the table.
Otherwise, the embroidery unit cannot move
freely and the embroidery frame may strike the
needle, causing the needle to bend or break
and possibly cause injury.
Place the fabric so that it does not hang off the
table or hold the fabric to keep it from
dragging.
Note
• Before embroidering, check that there is
enough thread in the bobbin. If you start to
sew your embroidery project without
enough thread in the bobbin, you will need
to rewind the bobbin in the middle of the
embroidery pattern.
• Do not leave objects in the range of motion
of the embroidery frame. The frame may
strike the object and cause a poor finish to
the embroidery pattern.
• When embroidering on large garments
(especially jackets or other heavy fabrics),
do not let the fabric hang over the table.
Otherwise, the embroidery unit cannot
move freely, and the pattern may not turn
out as planned.
