EMBROIDERY Embroidering After the preparations are done, you can try embroidering. This section describes the steps for embroidering and appliquéing. Sewing attractive finishes There are many factors that go into sewing beautiful embroidery. Using the appropriate stabilizer (page 153) and hooping the fabric in the frame (page 154) 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. Thread Upper thread Bobbin thread Use embroidery thread, or country embroidery thread intended for use with this machine. Other embroidery threads may not yield optimum results. Use embroidery bobbin thread intended for use with this machine. Memo z If you use threads other than those listed above, the embroidery may not sew out correctly. Bobbin case Standard bobbin case (green marking on the screw) is in the machine for sewing and embroidery. The bobbin case originally installed in the machine has a green screw. a 1 Standard bobbin case (green marking on the screw) Alternate bobbin case (no color on the screw) Alternate bobbin case (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 screw on this case can be adjusted if necessary. • For details on how to remove the bobbin case, refer to "Cleaning the race" (page 184). • For details on adjusting the alternate bobbin case, refer to "Adjusting the alternate bobbin case (with no color on the screw)" (page 174). Note z Before embroidering, check that there is enough thread in the bobbin. If you continue sewing without enough thread in the bobbin, the thread may tangle. z 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. z 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. 166
