PREPARING THE FABRIC

• Your machine can embroider fabric that is up
to 2 mm (5/64 inch) thick. If thicker fabric is
embroidered, the needle may bend or break.

Attaching stabilizer (backing) to fabric

In order to prevent shrinkage of the stitching or misaligned
patterns, we recommend that stabilizer (backing) be used for
embroidering.
• When embroidering on thin or stretch fabrics,
fabrics with a coarse weave or fabrics that
easily allow the stitching to shrink, be sure to
use stabilizer (backing) for embroidering. If
stabilizer (backing) is not used while
embroidering, the needle may bend or break
or the pattern may become misaligned.
a Using a steam iron, affix the iron-on stabilizer
(backing) to the back of the fabric.
• Use a piece of stabilizer which is larger than the
embroidery frame being used.
