Bobbin Threads
Cotton or spun polyester threads sizes 80 to 120 (74 to
100 dtex/2) are recommended for bobbin thread.
Do not use poor quality prewound bobbins.
Needles
Use the DB x K5Q1-NY, size 11 needles.
Stabilizers
To obtain the best quality embroidery, it is important to
use stabilizers.
Types of stabilizer
Tear-away stabilizer:
Use tear-away stabilizers for stable woven fabrics.
Iron-on stabilizer :
Fuse it to the wrong side of the fabrics with an iron.
Cut-away stabilizer :
Use cutaway stabilizers for knits and all kinds of
unstable fabrics.
Water soluble stabilizer :
Use this stabilizer for cutwork or lace embroidery, and
also for the right side of looped fabrics such as
toweling to avoid loops coming through the
embroidery.
Sticky stabilizer :
This stabilizer is a sticky paper used for securing a
small fabric or work that cannot be secured in the
hoop.
It is also used for velvet and other napped fabric that
would be permanently marked by the hoop.
Usage:
The stabilizer should be attached to the wrong side
of fabric.
More than one layer may be required.
Felt or stable fabrics do not need to be stabilized
and you may embroider directly on them.
For firm fabrics, you may place a thin paper under
the fabric.
The non-adhesive type should be used when
embroidering fabric, which cannot be ironed or for
sections, which are difficult to iron.
Cut the stabilizer larger than the embroidery hoop
and set it on the hoop so that the entire piece is
fastened within the hoop to prevent looseness of the
fabric.
Adhesive (Iron-on) Stabilizer
Place the Wrong side of fabric and the glossy side
of the stabilizer together. Fold up a corner of the
stabilizer and fuse it with an iron.
NOTES:
Fold up a corner of the stabilizer, to make it
easier to peel off the excess stabilizer after
stitching.
Ironing temperatures vary depending on kind of
adhesive type stabilizer.
