1.4 Needle, Thread, Fabric

In the course of time a needle wears out. Therefore, the needle should be replaced regularly. Only a perfect point results in a good stitching result. In general it can be said: the thinner the thread, the finer the needle. The illustrated needles are either standard or optional accessory, depending on the machine.

• Needle sizes 70, 75: for light-weight fabrics.

• Needle sizes 80, 90: for medium fabrics.

• Needle sizes 100: for heavy fabrics.

Overview Needles

Example for needle description

The 130/705 system, which is the most common for household machines, is explained by the following picture of a Jersey/Stretch needle.

130/705 H-S/70

130 = Shank length (1)

705 = Flat shank (2)

H = Needle scarf (3)

S = Needle point (here medium ball point) (4)

70 = Needle size 0.7 mm (5)

Thread selection

For a perfect sewing result, thread and fabric quality play an important role.

We recommend purchasing quality threads to achieve good sewing results.

• Cotton threads have the advantage of being a natural fiber and therefore are especially suitable for sewing cotton fabrics.

• Mercerized cotton threads have a slight sheen that is not lost with washing.

• Polyester threads have a high tensile strength and is particularly colorfast.

• Polyester threads are more flexible and are recommended where a strong and elastic seam is required.

• Rayon threads are made of natural fibers and have a brilliant sheen.

• Rayon threads are suitable for decorative stitches and achieve a more beautiful effect.

2019-02 EN 5020070.00A.04

Page 19

My bernette Embroidery

Needle/thread combination

The needle/thread combination is correct, when the thread fits perfectly into the long groove and goes easily through the needle eye. The thread can be optimally sewn.

The thread can break and cause skipped stitches if there is too much play in the long groove or eye of the needle.

The thread can break and become jammed if it frays on the edges of the long groove and is not guided optimally through the eye of the needle.

1.5 Important Embroidery information

Upper thread

A good quality thread (brand manufacturer) is essential for embroidery so that the embroidery is not affected negatively because of poor thread or thread breakage.

Embroidery is particularly effective if you use 40wt glossy rayon or polyester embroidery threads as upper threads. They are available in a wide range of colors for beautiful embroidery.

• Glossy polyester with a brilliant sheen is a hard wearing, colorfast thread and has a high tensile strength which is suitable for all types of embroidery.

• Rayon is a soft viscose fiber with a brilliant sheen and suitable for fine, delicate embroidery, or items that will not receive excessive wear and tear.

• Metallic thread is a light to medium-weight thread suitable for special effects in embroidery.

• When working with metallic threads, the automatic bobbin thread cutter should be deactivated. The other thread cutters shouldn't be used either because the knives are likely to wear off very quickly.

2019-02 EN 5020070.00A.04

Page 20

My bernette Embroidery

• When using metallic threads, the speed and the upper thread tension should be reduced.

Bobbin thread

In most cases black or white bobbin thread is used for embroidering. When both sides should have the same look, it is recommended to use the same color for bobbin and upper thread.

• Bobbin Fill is an especially soft and light polyster thread which is suited well to be used as bobbin thread. This special bobbin thread ensures a steady thread tension and an optimal intertwining of the upper and bobbin thread.

• Darning and embroidery threads are fine mercerized cotton threads which are suitable for embroidery on cotton.

2019-02 EN 5020070.00A.04

Choosing the embroidery motif

Simple motifs with a low stitch count are suitable for embroidery on fine material. Densely embroidered motifs, e.g. embroidered motifs with multiple color and embroidery direction changes, are suitable for medium and heavy-weight material.

Embroidery test

For the embroidery test, always use the original material reinforced with the same stabilizer as will be used later. For the embroidery test it is recommended to use the same colors, threads and needles which are planned to be used for the embroidery project.

Embroidering motifs by third-party providers

bernette recommends uploading embroidery motifs of any file format via the free program ««ART-Link»» to the machine or a USB stick. Using «ART-Link» ensures that the embroidery motif can be read and

embroidered correctly. «ART-Link» can be downloaded for free at www.bernina.com.

Page 21

My bernette Embroidery

Underlay stitches

Underlay stitches are the foundation of a motif and are used to stabilize the base material and hold it in shape. They also prevent the covering stitches of the motif from sinking into the knit or the nap of the material.

The size of the embroidery motif

Embroidery motifs can be enlarged or downsized on the embroidery machine or on the PC using the BERNINA Embroidery software (optional accessory). Enlargements or reductions up to 20% achieve the best results.

Satin or Leaf stich

The needle moves left to right and vice versa. The result is a very dense, covering zig zag stitching to fill the shape. Satin stitching fills are ideal for narrow and small shapes. Satin stitching is, however, not suitable for larger areas, since wide stitches are too loose and do not cover the fabric properly. In addition there is the risk that with too long stitches the threads could catch on something which would damage the embroidery.

Step stitch

Many short, equally long stitches are embroidered in offset rows closely next to each other which results in a densesly filled area.

2019-02 EN 5020070.00A.04

Page 22

My bernette Embroidery

Connecting stitches

Long stitches which are used to get from one part of the motif to the next. Before and after the connecting stitch securing stitches are sewn. Connecting stitches are trimmed.

2.1 Connection and Switching on

Connecting the machine

> Insert the power cable into the power cord connection.

Use of the power cable (only USA/Canada)

The machine has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way!

Switching the machine on

> Switch on the machine at the main switch to «I».

Fixing the touchscreen pen

> Store the touchscreen pen on the top holder.

2.2 Spool pin

Horizontal spool pin

Placing the thread spool and the thread disc

Spool discs hold the thread spool in place for proper release of thread from the spool. The thread disc is only used with the horizontal spool holder.

> Place the thread spool on the spool holder. > Position the appropriate spool disc on the spool holder so that there is no space between the spool disc

and the thread spool.

Using a spool net

The spool net provides an even unwinding of the thread from the thread spool and prevents the thread from knotting and breaking. The spool net is only used with the horizontal spool holder.

> Pull the spool net over the thread spool.

Second spool pin

Installing the second spool pin

The second spool pin is necessary when several threads are sewn.

> Insert the second spool pin onto the end of the bobbin winding unit(1). > Align the notch (2) with the spring (3) on the bobbin winding unit.

Selecting the embroidery hoop

The best embroidery result is achieved when the smallest possible embroidery hoop for the embroidery motif is selected.

The embroidery motif has a pre-set size which is displayed.

Prerequisite:

• The embroidery motif is selected.

> Touch the icon «Embroidery hoop display/Embroidery hoop selection».

– The presently attached embroidery hoop is displayed.

– The machine selects the optimal embroidery hoop according to the size of the embroidery motif

automatically.

– If the preset embroidery hoop is not available, another desired embroidery hoop can be selected.

– When an embroidery hoop is attached which does not correspond with the selected one, the attached

hoop is considered active and the embroidery motif area is displayed accordingly.

> Select the desired embroidery hoop.

Tear-away stabilizers

Using a stabilizer ensures more stability of the embroidery project. A tear-away stabilizer suits all woven and non-stretch materials. 1–2layers can be used. Stabilizers are available in different weights. With larger embroidered areas the stabilizer will remain under the embroidery thread. The stabilizer is applied to the wrong side of the fabric with temporary adhesive spray. Carefully tear away excess stabilizer after embroidering.

Cut-away stabilizers

Using a stabilizer ensure more stability of the embroidery project. A cut-away stabilizer suits all elastic materials. 1–2layers can be used. Stabilizers are available in different weights. With larger areas to be embroidered the stabilizer will remain under the embroidery thread. The stabilizer is applied to the wrong side of the fabric with temporary adhesive spray. Carefully cut away excess stabilizer after embroidering.

Using adhesive spray

The application of spray adhesive is recommended for stretch and smooth materials and knitware. It prevents the fabric from losing shape and slipping. Appliqués can be exactly positioned with spray adhesive. The spray adhesive shouldn't be used near the machine to avoid contamination.

> Use the adhesive spray carefully at a distance 25 – 30 cm (9–12inch) when spraying the stabilizer. > Adhere the sprayed stabilizer to the wrong side of the fabric carefully, smoothing material so there are

no puckers.

> Position smaller parts such as pocket flaps or collars on the stabilizer. > To avoid the possibility of getting hoop marks when working with napped materials or fleece, don't hoop

the parts but spray the stabilizer and hoop it.

> Adhere the fabric to be embroidered. > Remove any adhesive residue before starting the machine.

2019-02 EN 5020070.00A.04

Using spray starch

Spray starch is ideal for additional stiffening fine, loosely woven materials. Always use an additional stabilizer on the wrong side of the material.

> Spray the area to be embroidered. > Let it dry or press gently with a warm iron if necessary.

Page 37

Embroidering preparation

Using iron-on interfacing

Iron-on interfacings are available in a variety of weights. It is recommended to use an iron-on interfacing which is easily removable from the basic fabric. An Iron-on interfacing suits all materials that are easily distorted like stretch fabric such as tricot and jersey.

> Iron-on interfacings are ironed to the wrong side of the material using a warm iron.

Using paper-backed adhesive stabilizer

Paper-backed adhesive stabilizers are intended to be used for fabrics such as jersey and silk as well as for embroidery projects which are not suited to be hooped in the embroidery hoop.

> Place the stabilizer in the hoop, so that the paper side is up. > Use a a pair of scissors to score the paper and remove paper in the hoop area. > Position the fabric to be embroidered on the stabilizer and press it on place. > Remove any adhesive residue before starting the machine.

Using water-soluble stabilizer

For lace embroidery it is recommended to hoop 1 – 3 layers of water-soluble stabilizer in the embroidery hoop. As the embroidery motif is not embroidered on the fabric, only the thread embroidered motif is left. The embroidery motifs should be combined with short stitches otherwise the individual motifs may fall out.

Water-soluble stabilizers are ideal for fine, sheer fabrics where other stabilizers may show through the embroidery stitches as well as for lace embroidery. The stabilizer dissolves in water. Water-soluble stabilizers are an ideal protection for looped pile fabrics preventing the loops from being damaged. It prevents threads from sinking into the material and keeps the fabric pile from poking though the embroidery.

> Place the stabilizer on the underside of the material. > Use adhesive spray to adhere stabilizer if necessary. > For material with a pile, reinforce with additional, suitable stabilizer on the wrong side. > Place all the layers together into the embroidery hoop. > After dissolving, lay the motif down flat and let dry.

Preparing the embroidery hoop

The embroidery hoop consists of an outer and an inner hoop. There is an embroidery template for each hoop. The area to be embroidered is marked in 1 cm (0,39 in) squares. The center is marked with hole and cross lines. The required marks can be transferred to the material.

> Loosen the screw (1) or open the quick release device (2) on the outer hoop.

– If a new type of fabric is used, the pressure must be adjusted by turning the screw.

> Remove the inner hoop.

Embroidering preparation

> Place the template (1) in the inner hoop, so the bernette logo is at the front edge, and make sure the cut

outs click into place.

> Place fabric under the inner frame so that it is at least 2 cm above the hoop. > Line up the marked center point on the center of the template. > Place the material and the inner hoop on the outer hoop so that the arrows of both hoops match.

2019-02 EN 5020070.00A.04

> Fit the hoops into each other; ensure that the material does not move.

Page 39

Embroidering preparation

> Hoop the fabric to be embroidered tightly. > Close the quick release device (2). If necessary, tighten screw (1). > The inner hoop should protrude about 1 mm on the underside, this prevents the hoop from sticking to

6.2 Adjusting the upper thread tension

Basic settings are applied automatically when an embroidery motif or program is selected.

When using different types of embroidery threads, the optimal tension may vary. Therefore it may be necessary to adjust the upper thread tension according to the embroidery project as well as the desired embroidery motif individually.

The higher the upper thread tension, the tighter the upper thread which means that the bobbin thread is pulled up to the top of the fabric. When the upper thread tension is low, the upper thread is less tightened which means that the bobbin thread is pulled up less.

Alteration of the upper thread tension affect the currently embroidery motif. Permanent alterations of the upper thread tension can be made in the Setup Program.

> Touch the icon «Upper thread tension».
