Embroidering Embroidering After the preparations are done, you can try embroidering. This section describes the steps for embroidering and appliquéing.

Set the embroidery thread, and thread the needle. b • Refer to "Threading the upper thread" on page B-19 and "Threading the needle" on page B-21. Note • Before using the needle threader, be sure to lower the presser foot. Pass the thread through the embroidery foot hole, and c hold it lightly in your left hand. Give the thread a little slack. Trim the excess thread at the end of the seam. If the e end of the seam is under the presser foot, raise the presser foot, then trim the excess thread. • If the thread is left at the beginning of the stitching, it may be sewn over as you continue embroidering the pattern, making it very difficult to deal with the thread after the pattern is finished. Trim the thread at the beginning. Press the "Start/Stop" button to start embroidering. f  Stitching stops automatically with reinforcement after one color has been completed. When automatic thread cutting is set, the thread is cut. CAUTION • If the thread is pulled too tight, the needle may break or bend. • Do not let hands or objects hit the carriage while sewing. The pattern may misalign. Remove the thread for the first color from the g machine. Thread the machine with the next color. B-36
