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.
a
Print the desired template.
b
Affix the stabilizer to the wrong side of the
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
• Do not press the “Thread Cutter” button to cut the
threads, otherwise the machine may be damaged.
Note
• If it is difficult to place bobbin thread through the eye
of a hand sewing needle, 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” on page 25.
• Use the free-motion quilting foot provided with your
machine. If you do not have a free-motion quilting
foot, contact your nearest authorized Baby Lock
retailer to purchase. For details on using the free-
motion quilting foot, refer to the Instruction and
Reference Guide 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.
