Embroidering
After the preparations are done, you can try embroidering. This section describes the steps for embroidering and appliqu é ing.
Note
z Before embroidering, check that there is enough thread in the bobbin. If you continue embroidering
without enough thread in the bobbin, the thread may tangle.
z When embroidering on large garments (especially jackets or other heavy fabrics), do not let the fabric
hang over the table. Otherwise, the embroidery unit cannot move freely, and the pattern may not turn
out as planned.
