Threading
Owner's manual pg.___
• Thread machine with the presser foot up (to release the tension discs)
• Thread the machine using either the horizontal or vertical spool pin
- Horizontal spool pin is designed for use with cross-wound threads
- match disc size to end of spool
- smallest disc fits into the end of large cones/spools such as Isacord embroidery thread
- Vertical spool pin is designed for use with stacked threads
- also used for some decorative threads
- a supplemental thread guide is available and should be used when using the vertical spool
pin to help decorative threads reel off the spool more consistently and keep them from falling
off the spool
• Adjust tensions as needed for the threads used
Hoop Sizes

Stabilizers
Owner's manual pg.___
• Proper hooping techniques and stabilizer information - Owner's manual pg.____
• Cut-Away Stabilizers – Heavy weight
- Most widely used in the commercial embroidery market
- Provides permanent support for embroidery stitches
- High quality cut-away stabilizers will not have any "give" or stretch
- Must use with any fabrics that stretch. (Don't forget, a fabric does not have to be a knit to have stretch.
There are woven fabrics such as denim that have stretch.)
- Must use with embroidery motifs that have high stitch counts
- These types of stabilizers can be used in multiple layers as necessary
- Must be trimmed away from the back of embroidery motifs after stitching is complete
- Available in White and Black
• Cut-Away Stabilizers – Light weight – Poly-Mesh
- Perfect for lighter weight and light colored fabrics
- Poly-Mesh provides a softer "hand" which makes it better for clothing use that lies directly on the skin
- Provides permanent support for embroidery stitches
- This type of stabilizer can be used in multiple layers as necessary
