PREPARING THE FABRIC
PREPARING THE FABRIC
• Use fabrics with a thickness of less than 3 mm (approx. 1/8 inch). Using fabrics thicker than 3 mm
(approx. 1/8 inch) may cause the needle to break.
Note
• When embroidering fabric layers filled with thick batting, for example, a better result can be achieved
by adjusting the embroidery foot height in the embroidery settings screen.
Press
, and select page 8. Touch the number beside "Embroidery Foot Height" in the embroidery
settings screen. Adjust the embroidery foot height for thick or puffy fabrics.
• To increase the space between the embroidery foot and the needle plate, set the "Embroidery Foot
Height" to a larger number.
• In the case of thick terry cloth towels we recommend that you place a piece of water soluble stabilizer
on the top surface of the towel. This will help to reduce the nap of the toweling and result in more
attractive embroidery.
Attaching Iron-on Stabilizers
(Backing) to the Fabric
CAUTION
• Always use a stabilizer material for embroidery
when embroidering stretch fabrics, lightweight
fabrics, fabrics with a coarse weave, or fabrics
which cause pattern shrinkage. Otherwise, the
needle may break and cause injury. Not using
a stabilizer material may result in a poor finish
to your project.

Memo
• When embroidering on thin fabrics such as
organdy or lawn, or on napped fabrics such
as towel or corduroy, use water soluble
stabilizer (sold separately) for best results.
The water soluble stabilizer material will
dissolve completely in water, giving the
project a more attractive finish.
