CREATING BOBBIN WORK (SEWING)

Positioning the Fabric and Sewing

Note
• Recommended stitches for bobbin work are
open "airy" type stitches.
• Be sure to sew trial stitches using same
fabric and threads as project in order to
check the sewing results.
• The bobbin thread may become tangled
due to the type of pattern and thread that
are being used. Since this may cause the
needle to break, immediately stop sewing if
this occurs. Turn off the machine and cut
out the tangled thread with scissors. Then,
clean the race and bobbin case as
described in "Preparing the Bobbin Thread"

simple stitch and sewing trial stitches to
check the sewing results.
