Embroidery
Using water-soluble stabilizer
For lace embroidery it is recommended to hoop 1 - 3 layers of water-soluble stabilizer in the embroidery
hoop. As the embroidery motif is not embroidered on the fabric, only the thread embroidered motif is
left. The embroidery motifs should be combined with short stitches otherwise the individual motifs may
fall out.
The stabilizer dissolves in water. Water-soluble stabilizers are an ideal protection for looped pile fabrics
preventing the loops from being damaged! It prevents threads from sinking into the material and keeps the
fabric pile from poking though the embroidery. Water-soluble stabilizers are ideal for fine, sheer fabrics
where other stabilizers may show through the embroidery stitches as well as for lace embroidery.
> Place the stabilizer on top of the material.
> Place all the layers together into the embroidery hoop.
> Use adhesive spray to adhere stabilizer if necessary.
> For material with a pile, reinforce with additional, suitable stabilizer on the wrong side.
> After dissolving, lay the motif down flat and let dry.
Attaching the hoop
> Raise the needle.
> Raise the Embroidery foot.
> Hold the hoop with the right side of the fabric up with the attaching mechanism to the left.
> Position the hoop under the Embroidery foot.
> Press both attaching mechanisms (1) of the hoop towards each other.
> Position the center points (2) of the hoop over the bracket of the embroidery arm.
> Press the hoop down until it clicks in position.
> Release the attaching mechanism (1).

11.6 Selecting an embroidery motif
All BERNINA embroidery motifs can either be embroidered as-is or changed using the various functions
offered by the embroidery machine. All embroidery motifs can be found in the attachment (see page 191).
All the stitch patterns contained in the sewing mode can also be embroidered. The stitch patterns are
displayed in files, sorted in Categories, like in the sewing mode. In addition to that, embroidery motifs from
the personal memory or from the BERNINA USB stick (optional accessory) can be loaded.
