Getting Ready to Monogram and Embroider
¢ Before turning your machine on, clear your table
surface of anything that might obstruct the carriage
movement. If your machine is in a cabinet, check
that the machine is even or above the cabinet
surface. (The carriage could possibly hit the cabinet
and disturb the sewing result.)
When monogram or embroidery is completed, before
turning your machine off, press the ( "| key to return
carriage to its non-active position.
Do not turn the flywheel by hand while carriage is
moving.

Stabilizing Fabric
Stabilizers for embroidery work are available in two types:
press-on or sew-in.
Use stabilizer on fabric wrong side. (More than one layer
may be required.)
The sew-in type should be used when embroidering
fabric which cannot be ironed, or sections which are
difficult to iron.
For both types of stabilizers, prepare a piece larger than
the embroidery hoop and place it in the hoop so the
entire piece can be fastened within the hoop. (Fabric
should be taut.)
NOTE: Ironing temperature varies with the kind of
stabilizer and fabric.
Choosing Stabilizers:
For beautiful embroidery, it is important to use stabilizers
properly.
Press-on: For stretch fabric such as knits, lightweight and
shrinkable fabric.
Sew-in: For sturdy fabrics and fabrics which cannot be
ironed.
