Threading the Machine

Depending on the type of embroidery thread, use
either automatic top threading (see page 23) or
manual top threading (see page 24).

Preparing the Fabric

All embroidery needs some form of stabilizer that
can be easily removed. Use a stabilizer appropriate
to the fabric and project. Common forms of stabilizer
for embroidery sewing are fusible or adhesive, tear-
away, heat-away or wash-away.
The fusible or adhesive type is recommended for
stretch fabrics and fabrics that might shrink.
Most stabilizers should be used on the wrong side of
the fabric. Wash-away stabilizer may be placed on
top of some napped fabrics.
For any type of stabilizer, prepare a piece larger than
the embroidery frame and place it in the frame so
that the entire piece can be fastened within. Fabric
should be taut.
