Preparing Items for Embroidering
The following is necessary for embroidering.
■
Fabric
Prepare the fabric for embroidery. Prepare a piece
of fabric a little larger than the embroidery frame
that matches the size of the pattern you want to
embroider.
Note
z Always use stabilizer when embroidering
projects, especially when embroidering on
lightweight or stretch fabrics.
CAUTION
■
Stabilizer material (option)
Attach a stabilizer material for embroidery to the
fabric to prevent poor quality embroidery designs.
Use a water soluble sheet on thin materials like
organdy and fabrics with a nap like towels.
For details, refer to "Attaching a stabilizer material
to the fabric" (page 43).
■
Embroidery thread (option)
For the upper thread, use the embroidery thread or
country thread.
For the bobbin thread, use the embroidery bobbin
thread. For details, refer to "Optional accessories"
(page 9).
Memo
z For good quality embroidery designs be sure
to use embroidery thread designed for
embroidery machines.
z Before starting to embroider, be sure there is
enough bobbin thread. If you continue
embroidering when the bobbin thread is
low, the thread may become tangled.
■
Needle
Use a 75/11 home sewing machine needle. When
embroidering on thick fabrics such as denim, use a
90/14 home sewing machine needle.
Memo
z A 75/11 needle is already installed when the
machine is purchased.
z When replacing the needle, refer to
"Replacing the needle" (page 28).
■
Other
Embroidery frames "small" and "large" are
optional. For details, refer to "Setting the fabric in
the embroidery frame" (page 44).
●
Do not embroider fabrics that are too
thick. To check the fabric thickness,
attach the embroidery frame to the
embroidery unit, and use
(Needle
position button) to raise the needle. If
there is space between the embroidery
foot and the fabric, the fabric can be
embroidered. If there is not space, do not
embroider the fabric. Otherwise, the
needle may break, resulting in injury.
●
Be careful when embroidering
overlapping patterns. The needle may not
easily pierce the fabric, causing the
needle to break.
