7.2 Bobbin-Play

The bobbin can be filled with different thread material. For free-motion stitching to add texture. This method
is similar to "normal" free-motion sewing, but is done on the wrong side of the fabric.
Reinforce the area to be sewn with embroidery stabilizer. The design can be drawn on the wrong side of the
fabric. You can also draw the design on the front side of the fabric. The lines can be followed with a freely
guided straight stitch using polyester, cotton or rayon thread. The rows of stitching are visible on the wrong
side of the fabric, and they serve as guidelines for the bobbin-thread sewing.
The BSR function can be used for bobbin-thread sewing. We recommend guiding your project evenly under
the needle at a consistent speed, following the lines of the design. The stabilizer must be removed after
sewing.
A sewing sample should be produced and checked first to see how the result looks on the right-hand side.
Not all decorative stitches are suitable for this technique. Simple decorative stitches provide best results.
Avoid compact stitch types and satin stitches.
