There are many factors that go into beautiful embroidery.
Using the appropriate stabilizer (page 27) and hooping the
fabric in the frame (page 28) are two important factors
mentioned earlier. Another important point is the
appropriateness of the needle and thread being used. See
the explanation of threads below.

Embroidering attractive finishes
Upper thread
Use embroidery thread intended for use with
this machine. Other embroidery threads may
not yield optimum results.
Bobbin thread
Use the included 90 weight embroidery
bobbin thread or recommended 90 weight
embroidery bobbin thread.
Note
• Do not leave objects in the range of motion of the
embroidery frame. The frame may strike the object
and cause a poor finish to the embroidery pattern.
• When embroidering on large garments (especially
jackets or other heavy fabrics), do not let the fabric
hang off the table. Otherwise, the embroidery unit
cannot move freely, and the pattern may not turn
out as planned.

included 90 weight bobbin thread)
