.

Note

• Recommended stitches for bobbin work are open

“airy” type stitches.

• Be sure to sew trial stitches using same fabric and

threads as project in order to check the sewing results.

• The bobbin thread may become tangled due to the

type of pattern and thread that are being used. Since
this may cause the needle to break, immediately
stop sewing if this occurs. Turn off the machine, and
then cut out the tangled thread with scissors. Then,
clean the race and bobbin case as described in
“Preparing the Bobbin Thread” on page 9.

Memo

• For best results, select a longer stitch length and a

wider stitch width. Depending on the selected stitch,
it may not be possible to change the stitch length
and stitch width.

• Depending on the fabric, bunched stitches may

result. We recommend selecting a simple stitch and
sewing trial stitches to check the sewing results.
