Helpful Tips: ‡ When embroidering larger or heavier pieces of fabric, it is helpful to support the fabric on a table in front and back of the machine. ‡ When working with specialty threads (such as metallic threads) or designs with dense stitch areas, it is recommended that you lower the embroidery speed. ‡ Be sure to deactivate the Thread Cutter Mode when doing endless embroidery. This will help eliminate the possibility of the thread coming out of the needle when sewing the alignment stitches and long jump stitches. ‡ To change a bobbin during embroidery, raise the needle by turning the handwheel toward you. Raise the presser foot lifter. Remove the hoop from the machine with the fabric remaining in the hoop. Remove the bobbin cover plate and empty bobbin. Wind the bobbin, insert it into the bobbin case and replace the bobbin cover plate. Place the hoop back onto the machine. Lower the presser foot lifter. Press the Start/Stop button to resume embroidery. ‡ Should you find that the hoop will not release from the machine because the back of the foot is coming in contact with the endless hoop clamp, use Reverse/ Forward Stitch button to move to another area that will allow you to remove the hoop. When the bobbin has been changed, use Forward/Reverse Stitch button to move the needle back to position and resume sewing. If this is not possible, due to the type of design you are embroidering, remove the presser foot and needle to remove the hoop from the machine. Replace the presser foot and needle to resume embroidering. 124
