Bobbin Work Free-Motion Sewing
If so desired, use a template or draw your design on the
stabilizer to allow for ease of stitching. Remember, your
stitches with your decorative thread will be on the
underneath side of your fabric and the stabilizer will be
on the top of the wrong side of your fabric.

Note
• Do not sew reinforcement/reverse stitches or use a
“Thread Cutter” button (if so equipped) at the end of
the stitching; otherwise it will be difficult to pull the
bobbin thread up to the wrong side of the fabric. In
addition the threads may become tangled or the
needle may break possibly causing machine
damage.
Note
• If it is difficult to pull up the bobbin thread, use a
ribbon embroidery needle to pull the thread up to the
wrong side of the fabric. Otherwise, use an awl to
pull up the bobbin thread.
Note
• To ensure threads do not come undone after being
tied place a drop of fabric glue on knots.
Note
• For bobbin work free motion sewing use the
instructions for “Creating Bobbin Work” beginning on
page 20.
• Use the quilting foot provided with your machine. If
you do not have a quilting foot, contact your nearest
authorized dealer to purchase. For details on using
the quilting foot, refer to the Operation Manual
provided with your machine or with the presser foot.
Note
• Print the template in its original dimensions. If an
enlarged template is used, the bobbin thread may
run out during sewing.
