SEWING AN EMBROIDERY PATTERN SEWING AN EMBROIDERY PATTERN Sewing Attractive Finishes There are many factors that go into sewing beautiful embroidery. Using the appropriate stabilizer (see page 138) and hooping the fabric in the frame (see page 139) 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. Thread Upper thread Use embroidery thread, or country embroidery thread intended for use with this machine. Other embroidery threads may not yield optimum results. Bobbin thread Use embroidery bobbin thread intended for use with this machine. When using other kinds of embroidery bobbin thread, use the bobbin case (no marking) included with this machine (The bobbin case originally installed in the machine has a green screw). (See page 210 for how to remove the bobbin case.) Memo If you use threads other than those listed above, the embroidery may not sew out correctly. Note • 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. • 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. ■ Embroidery Needle Plate Cover Under some conditions, based on the type of fabric, stabilizer, or thread being used, there may be some looping in the upper thread. In this case, attach the included embroidery needle plate cover to the needle plate. Attach the cover by inserting the two projections on the underside of the cover into the notches on the needle plate as shown below. a b CAUTION • Push the embroidery needle plate cover as far as possible to attach it. If the embroidery needle plate cover is not securely attached, it may cause the needle to break. Note • Do not use the embroidery needle plate cover for any applications other than embroidery. c a Groove b Projection c Notch To remove the embroidery needle plate cover, place your fingernail in the groove and lift the plate out. 146
