c
While holding the yarn in your hand in front of you,
press the "Start/Stop" button.
CAUTION
• Pulling the yarn upwards may cause it to catch
on the needle, causing it to break. Be careful
not to allow the yarn to catch on the needle.
Note
• Before embroidering, make sure that there is
enough yarn, upper thread and bobbin thread.
• Make sure that the yarn passes smoothly through
the guides. Unravel as much yarn from the ball as
necessary so that the yarn does not become taut.
• Use yarn that has no knots.
d
After embroidering several stitches, release the yarn.
 When embroidering is finished, the machine will
automatically trim the threads and stop.
Memo
• When using a high-density yarn, the upper thread
tension may be disturbed. If this happens, it is
possible to improve it by raising the [Embroidery
Foot Height] by about 1 mm on the settings screen.

needle and then use the yarn threader to pull the
excess yarn to the wrong side of the fabric.
g
Tie the end of the yarn so it cannot be pulled out, and
then use scissors to cut off any excess yarn.
