7.2 Bobbin-Play
The bobbin can be filled with different thread material. For free-motion stitching to add texture. This method
is similar to "normal" free-motion sewing, but is done on the wrong side of the fabric.
Reinforce the area to be sewn with embroidery stabilizer. The design can be drawn on the wrong side of the
fabric. You can also draw the design on the front side of the fabric. The lines can be followed with a freely
guided straight stitch using polyester, cotton or rayon thread. The rows of stitching are visible on the wrong
side of the fabric, and they serve as guidelines for the bobbin-thread sewing.
The BSR function can be used for bobbin-thread sewing. We recommend guiding your project evenly under
the needle at a consistent speed, following the lines of the design. The stabilizer must be removed after
sewing.
Sew a sample first to check what the result looks like on the wrong side of the fabric.
Not all decorative stitches are suitable for this technique. Simple decorative stitches provide best results.
Avoid compact stitch types and satin stitches.

7.3 Altering the stitch density
With certain decorative stitches (e. g. No. 401) the stitch density can be altered. If the stitch density is
increased, the stitch distance is enlarged. If the stitch density is decreased, the stitch distance is shortened.
The programmed length of the stitch pattern is not affected.
