Threading Upper and Bobbin Thread

Threading the Upper Thread
• attach foam pad and place the upper
thread spool
• when using Rayon or slippery embroidery
threads, slip the net over the upper thread
spool
• this prevents the upper thread from
slipping and gives an even thread feed
While embroidering the bobbin
can also be wound, just like in
sewing.
Needles for Embroidery
• depending on the embroidery thread use
needle size 75 to 90
• use special embroidery or Metafil needle
for embroidery or metallic thread
• use an undamaged needle
• raise the needle so that the embroidery
hoop can be attached
Straight Stitch Plate (optional accessory)
• the straight stitch plate has a small needle
hole. The needle insertion points (upper
and lower thread stitching) are limited,
which produces a better embroidery result
• remove the standard stitch plate and
replace it with the straight stitch plate
Bobbin thread tension
• insert the thread into the pigtail tension
guide for embroidery.
