Embroidering
72
Adjusting thread tension
The upper thread tension is changed using the thread tension
dial.
When doing machine embroidery, the thread tension dial
should be set somewhere between 2 to 6.
■
Correct thread tension
The thread tension is correct when upper thread is just visible
on the wrong side (bottom) of the fabric.
■
Upper thread is too tight
The bobbin thread will be visible on the right side (top) of the
fabric. In this instance, decrease the upper thread tension.
■
Upper thread is too loose
The upper thread has slack. In this instance, increase the
upper thread tension.
Embroidering the appliqué patterns
When the color embroidering order display shows
[
(APPLIQUE MATERIAL)],
[
(APPLIQUE POSITION)] or
[
(APPLIQUE)], follow the procedure below.
Required materials
• Fabric for the appliqué piece
• Fabric for the appliqué base
• Stabilizer material
• Fabric glue or temporary spray adhesive
• Embroidering thread
■
1. Creating an appliqué piece
a
Attach stabilizer material to the wrong side of the
appliqué fabric.
b
Sew the cutting line of the appliqué piece. Remove the
fabric for the appliqué piece from the embroidery
frame, and then carefully cut along the sewn cutting
line.

possible to set the correct thread tension. If the
correct thread tension cannot be achieved,
rethread the upper thread and insert the bobbin
correctly.

Note
•
The correct names and numbers of the thread
colors to be used will not appear. Select the thread
colors depending on those in the appliqué pattern.
•
Some appliqué patterns differ from the procedure
described in this manual. For the procedure, refer
to the “Embroidery Design Guide”.
Note
•
If the appliqué piece is cut out along the inside of
the cutting line, it may not be correctly attached to
the fabric. Therefore, carefully cut out the appliqué
piece along the cutting line.
•
After cutting out the appliqué piece, carefully
remove the thread.
