Start Embroidering
a
Hoop the fabric so the right side of the
fabric is facing down with the stabilizer
lying on the top. Use an embroidery frame
that fits the size of the pattern and then
attach the frame to the machine. These
patterns are embroidered from the wrong
side of the fabric so technically you are
working in “reverse” of normal
embroidering.

Note
• Since bobbin work is embroidered from the
wrong side of the fabric, the pattern shown
in the screen appears as a mirror image of
the final sewn embroidery. If necessary, flip
the image to preview it. In addition, when
embroidering with the thread colors shown
in the embroidery screen, select a bobbin
thread that matches what is shown in the
screen.

Memo
• With bobbin work embroidery patterns, the
size and thread density cannot be changed.
In addition, the automatic thread cutting
function “END COLOR TRIM” cannot be
turned on.
Memo
• We recommend a setting between 6 and 8
for the upper thread tension.
CAUTION
• Always use a stabilizer material for embroidery.
Otherwise, the needle may break and cause injuries.
Not using a stabilizer material may result in a poor
finish to your project.
