Preparing The Fabric; Attaching Iron-On Stabilizers (Backing) To The Fabric - Brother 882-W01 Operation Manual

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.
• When using layers with thicker batting etc., you can sew more attractive embroidery by adjusting the
embroidery presser foot height in the embroidery settings screen (see below).
• 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.
Note
• Press
embroidery settings screen. Adjust the presser foot height for thick or puffy fabrics.
• To increase the space between the presser foot and the needle plate, set the embroidery foot height to
a larger number, 1.5mm setting is used for most embroidery.
