recommend using monofilament thread or polyester
light weight thread (50wt. or above) that is the same
color as the lower thread.
Needle
Use a needle appropriate for the upper thread and
fabric being used. Refer to “Fabric/Thread/Needle
Combinations” (in the chapter “CHANGING THE
NEEDLE”) in the Operation Manual.
Presser foot
Utility stitches or decorative stitches: Monogramming
foot “N”
Free-motion sewing: Free-motion quilting foot “C”,
Free-motion open toe quilting foot “O” or Free-motion
echo quilting foot “E”
Fabric
Be sure to sew trial stitches on a piece of scrap fabric,
which includes the same threads and fabric as what is
being used in your project.
No.5 or finer hand embroidery
thread or decorative thread

Fine embroidery ribbon (silk or
silk-like material) (3.5 mm (approx.
