My bernette Embroidery 1.4 Needle, Thread, Fabric In the course of time a needle wears out. Therefore, the needle should be replaced regularly. Only a perfect point results in a good stitching result. In general it can be said: the thinner the thread, the finer the needle.
My bernette Embroidery Needle/thread combination The needle/thread combination is correct, when the thread fits perfectly into the long groove and goes easily through the needle eye. The thread can be optimally sewn. The thread can break and cause skipped stitches if there is too much play in the long groove or eye of the needle.
Embroidering motifs by third-party providers bernette recommends uploading embroidery motifs of any file format via the free program ««ART-Link»» to the machine or a USB stick. Using «ART-Link» ensures that the embroidery motif can be read and embroidered correctly.
My bernette Embroidery Underlay stitches Underlay stitches are the foundation of a motif and are used to stabilize the base material and hold it in shape. They also prevent the covering stitches of the motif from sinking into the knit or the nap of the material.
