PREPARING THE FABRIC

• Use fabrics with a thickness of less than 3 mm (approx. 1/8 inch). Using fabrics thicker than 3 mm

(approx. 1/8 inch) may cause the needle to break.

• When using layers with thicker batting etc., you can sew more attractive embroidery by adjusting the

embroidery presser foot height in the embroidery settings screen (see below).

• In the case of thick terry cloth towels we recommend that you place a piece of water soluble stabilizer on

the top surface of the towel. This will help to reduce the nap of the toweling and result in more attractive

embroidery.

Attaching Iron-on Stabilizers

(backing) to the Fabric

For best results in your embroidery projects,

always use stabilizer material for embroidery.

Follow the package instructions for the stabilizer

being used.

When using fabrics that cannot be ironed (such as

towel or fabrics that have loops which expand

when ironed) or in places where ironing is

difficult, position the stabilizer material under the

fabric without fusing it, then position the fabric

and stabilizer in the embroidery frame, or check

with your authorized dealer for the correct

stabilizer to use.

CAUTION

• Always use a stabilizer material for

embroidery when sewing stretch fabrics,

lightweight fabrics, fabrics with a coarse

weave, or fabrics which cause pattern

shrinkage. Otherwise, the needle may break

and cause injury. Not using a stabilizer

material may result in a poor finish to your

project.
