Embroidery Threads Important Embroidery Information 119 One of the most important elements in successful embroidery is the quality of the thread. We strongly recommend that you purchase thread from a reputable BERNINA dealer in order to avoid irregularities, thread breakage, etc. which so often occur with poor quality threads. Polyester Threads Polyester with a brilliant sheen is a hard wearing colorfast thread and has a high tensile strength. It is suitable for all types of embroidery, especially children's clothing and items which will be washed often or subject to much wear and tear. When sewing with metallic threads, we recommend the use of the vertical spool pin and the supplementary thread guide (optional accessory). Embroidery is particularly effective if you use glossy rayon or polyester embroidery threads as upper threads. They are available in a wide range of colors for beautiful embroidery. Rayon Threads Rayon is a soft viscose fiber with a brilliant sheen and suitable for fine, delicate embroidery, or items that will not receive excessive wear and tear. Metallic Wrapped Polyester Thread Metallic thread is a light- to mediumweight thread suitable for special effects in embroidery. Preferably use with a Metafil 130/705 H-MET needle or Organ needle of varying sizes. 16 18 Embroidery Needle • correct size thread must correspond with correct size needle • replace needle regularly Bobbin Threads Use white bobbin thread or match color with fabric. Bobbin-Fil (special bobbin thread) Bobbin-Fil is an especially soft and light polyester thread suitable for bobbin thread. This special bobbin thread ensures a steady thread tension and an optimal intertwining of the upper and bobbin thread. Darning and Embroidery Thread Fine mercerized cotton thread suitable for embroidery (Mettler 60 weight suggested), which is embroidered on cotton fabric. 031196.50.04_0507_a630_EN
