EMBROIDERING TUTORIAL Upper thread recommendations Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the upper thread. Note ● It is recommended that rayon or polyester embroidery thread be used (120 den x 2 / 135 dtex x 2 / 40 weight (in Americas and Europe) / #50 (in Japan)). Fabric recommendations Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the fabric. Note ● Your machine can embroider fabric that is up to 1 mm (3/8 inch) thick. If thicker fabric is sewn, the needle may bend or break. ● When embroidering overlapping stitches, it is difficult for the needle to penetrate the fabric, possibly resulting in the needle bending or breaking. Note ● Attach stabilizers to thin or stretch fabrics. (Refer to "Attaching Iron-On Stabilizer (Backing) to Fabric" on page 90 for information.) ● When embroidering large pieces of fabric, make sure that the fabric is not caught in the carriage. Display recommendations Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the use of the operation panel display. Note ● Only touch the display with your finger or included touch pen. Do not use a mechanical pencil, screwdriver or any other hard or sharp object. In addition, do not apply extreme pressure to the display screen, otherwise damage to the display screen may result. • The display may be dark immediately after the embroidery machine is turned on. This is a normal characteristic of the backlight and is not a sign of a malfunction. After approximately 10 minutes, the display should reach its normal level of brightness. • If you are not directly facing the operation panel display, the colors may be distorted or the display may be difficult to read. This is a normal characteristic of the display and is not a malfunction. Be sure to sit in front of the display while using it. (Refer to "Adjusting the operation panel position" on page 27, if adjusting is necessary.) 34
