Machine Structure and Features
■ Three-dimensional materials can be
embroidered
Since the embroidering surface is a cylindrical arm,
three-dimensional or tubular materials such as bags
and T-shirts can easily be positioned in order to sew
beautiful embroidery.
■ Insert line feeds in character
patterns
While entering character embroidery patterns, touch
the line feed key ( ) to arrange the following
characters on the next line.
You can check the entered characters easily by
touching .
1 Cylindrical arm
■ Embroider while replacing the
thread spool a minimal number of
times
Before starting to embroider, touch the thread color
sorting key ( ) to rearrange the embroidery order
and sort it by thread colors. For example, when
embroidering after simply arranging the same
pattern to be repeated side-by-side, you will need to
replace the thread spool multiple times with each
pattern. However, by using the thread color sorting
function, the thread color order will be rearranged
to embroider the same color at one time, allowing
you to embroider while replacing the thread spool a
minimal number of times.
The thread color sorting function cannot be used
with overlapping patterns.
■ Four thread spools can be prepared
for embroidering
Up to four thread spools can be prepared on a spool
stand for the next color change. By hooking the
thread on the thread cutter/holder, the thread can be
smoothly replaced with that of the next color.
1 Thread cutter holders
2 Spool stand

■ Embroidery positioning marker
The needle drop position can be easily found with
the LED pointer.
1 Needle drop position
■ Automatic threading mechanism
Using the automatic threading mechanism, the
needle can easily be threaded.
■ Available embroidery area
Designs with a maximum size of 200 mm (H) ×
200 mm (W) (7-7/8 inches (H) × 7-7/8 inches (W))
can be embroidered. When the optional sized
frames are used, you may select from many
additional styles and sizes of embroidery projects.
■ Safety mechanism
The machine is equipped with a locking mechanism
that helps prevent injuries from accidental
operation. The machine can only be started after the
machine is unlocked. The color of the “Start/Stop”
button changes to inform you of whether or not the
machine is locked.
Lit in red Flashing in green
The machine is locked.
The machine can be
started.
■ Various built-in patterns
In addition to the many built-in character patterns,
embroidery patterns and frame patterns, using
optional embroidery cards greatly expands the
machine’s pattern library.
■ Embroidery pattern editing
Lettering and embroidery patterns can be combined
or a text arrangement can be placed within an
embroidery grouping.

Operating Precautions
WARNING
CAUTION
The necessary points to ensure the correct operation of this machine are described below.
Power supply precautions
Be sure to observe the following precautions concerning the power supply.
• Use only regular household electricity for the power source. Using other power sources may result in fire,
electric shock, or damage to the machine.
• Make sure that the plugs on the power supply cord are firmly inserted into the electrical outlet and the
power supply cord receptacle on the machine. Otherwise, a fire or electrical shock may result.
• Do not insert the plug on the power supply cord into an electrical outlet that is in poor condition.
• If any of the following occur, turn off the embroidery machine and unplug the power supply cord,
otherwise a fire, an electric shock or damage to the machine may result.
• When you are away from the machine.
• After using the machine.
• If a power outage occurs while the machine is being operated.
• If the machine is not operating properly, for example, when there is a loose or cut connection.
• During electrical storms.
• Use only the power supply cord included with this machine.
• Do not plug this machine in with extension cords or multi-plug adapters with many other appliances
plugged into them, otherwise a fire or an electric shock may result.
• Do not plug in or unplug the power supply cord with wet hands, otherwise an electric shock may result.
• When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure to first turn off the machine, and then grasp the plug
when unplugging the cord. Pulling on the cord may damage it or result in a fire or an electric shock.
• Do not allow the power supply cord to be cut, damaged, modified, forcefully bent, pulled, twisted, or
bundled. In addition, do not place heavy objects on the cord or expose it to heat, otherwise damage to the
cord, fire or an electric shock may result. If the power supply cord or its plug is damaged, stop using the
machine, and then take the machine to your authorized Brother dealer for repairs before continuing use.
• If the machine is not to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power supply cord, otherwise a fire
may result.
• When leaving the machine unattended, either the main switch of the machine should be turned to OFF or
the plug must be removed from the socket-outlet.
• When servicing the machine or when removing covers, the machine must be unplugged.
•For U.S.A only
This appliance 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.
24
EMBROIDERING TUTORIAL
CAUTION
Needle precautions
Be sure to observe the following precautions concerning the correct choice of needle for your machine.
• Your machine is designed to use household embroidery needles. The factory recommended needle is “HAX
130 EBBR” (Organ). Schmetz needles 130/705 H-E may be used as a substitute. Use of any other needles
may break the needle or thread or damage the needle-threading mechanism or result in injuries.
• Never use bent needles. Bent needles can easily break, possibly resulting in injuries.
Checking the needle
Embroidering with a bent needle is extremely dangerous since the needle may break while the machine is
operating.
Place the flat side of the needle on a flat surface and check that the distance between the needle and the
flat surface is even. If the needle is bent or the tip of the needle is broken, replace the needle with a new
one. (Refer to “Changing the Needle” on page 72.)

1 Flat side
2 Needle type marking
■ Good needle ■ Bad needle
If the distance between the needle
and the flat surface is not even, the
needle is bent. Do not use a bent
needle.

Bobbin precautions
CAUTION
Note
Note
Note
COATS
Polyester
L
Be sure to observe the following precautions concerning the bobbin.
• Only use prewound bobbin (COATS “L” type/TRU-SEW POLYESTER
“Filaments”) or bobbins designed specifically for this machine. Use of any other
bobbin may result in injuries or damage to the machine.
• Use a bobbin thread that has been correctly wound, otherwise the needle may
break or the thread tension will be incorrect.
Upper thread recommendations
Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the upper thread.
• It is recommended that rayon or polyester embroidery thread be used (120 den × 2 / 135 dtex × 2 / 40
weight (in Americas and Europe) / #50 (in Japan)).
Fabric recommendations
Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the fabric.
• Your machine can embroider fabric that is up to 1 mm (1/16 inch) thick. If thicker fabric is sewn, the
needle may bend or break.
• When embroidering overlapping stitches, it is difficult for the needle to penetrate the fabric, possibly
resulting in the needle bending or breaking.
• Attach stabilizers to thin or stretch fabrics. (Refer to “Attaching Iron-On Stabilizer (Backing) to Fabric”
on page 76 for information.)
• When embroidering large pieces of fabric, make sure that the fabric is not caught in the carriage.
Display recommendations
Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the use of the operation panel display.
26
• Only touch the display with your finger or included touch pen. Do not use a mechanical pencil,
screwdriver or any other hard or sharp object. In addition, do not apply extreme pressure to the
display screen, otherwise damage to the display screen may result.
