NEEDLE SIZE FABRICS THREAD

9-11 (70-80)

Lightweight fabrics-

thin cottons, voile, serge, silk, muslin,
Qiana, interlocks, cotton knits, tricot,
jerseys, crepes, woven polyester,
shirt & blouse fabrics.

Light-duty thread in cotton, nylon,
polyester or cotton wrapped
polyester.

11-14 (80 -9 0)

Medium weight fabrics-

cotton, satin, kettleclote, sailcloth,
double knits, lightweight woolens.

Most threads sold are medium
size and suitable for these fabrics
and needle sizes.

Use polyester threads on
synthetic materials and cotton
on natural woven fabrics for best
results.

Always use the same thread on
top and bottom.

14 (90)

Medium weight fabrics-

cotton duck, woolen, heavier knits,
terrycloth, denims.

16 (100)

Heavyweight fabrics-

canvas, woolens, outdoor tent and
quilted fabrics, denims, upholstery
material (light to medium).

18 (110)

Heavyweight fabrics-

Heavy woolens, overcoat fabrics,
upholstery fabrics, some leathers
and vinyls.

Heavy duty thread, carpet thread.

Note

1. In general, ne threads and needles are used for sewing ne fabrics, thicker threads and
needles are used for sewing heavy fabrics.

2. Always test thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric which will be used for actual
sewing.

3. Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.

4. Use a stabilizer or place a backing for ne or stretchy fabrics, and select the correct
presser foot.

5. It is recommended that a 90/14 needle should be used when embroidering on heavyweight
fabrics or stabilizing products (for example, denim, puffy foam, etc.). A 75/11 needle may
bend or break, which could result in injury.

6. For transparent nylon thread, always use needle 90/14 - 100/16. The same thread is
usually used for the bobbin thread and upper threading.

7. For good quality embroidery designs, recommend to use a 75/11 needle when
embroidering.

Screws

Change the straight stitch plate and tighten
the screws.

The straight stitch plate is recommended
for embroidery mode for better embroidery
quality. It can be also used for straight stitches
in middle needle position in normal sewing
mode.

The particular design of smaller central hole
can give a better support of the fabric during
straight stitch sewing.

Thus, the fabric can be prevented from being
pulled down into bobbin/hook area, especially
in the beginning or end of a seam.

Important embroidery information

vEmbroidery threads

A good quality thread is essential for embroidery to avoid poor stitch formation, needle break, etc.

Good embroidery performance will be effective by using 40wt glossy rayon or polyester
embroidery threads as upper threads. They are available in a wide range of colors for beautiful
embroidery.

Polyester threads

Polyester is a glossy thread with high tensile strength, hard wearing and colorfast features, which
is suitable for all type of embroidery.

Rayon threads

Rayon is a soft viscose ber with a brilliant sheen and suitable for ne, delicate embroidery, or

items that will not receive excessive wear and tear.

Metallic threads

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

Reduce the thread tension when embroidering with metallic threads.

Embroidery needle

- Select correct thread size and needle size for embroidery.

- Replace the needle regularly.

Note

Please use the second spool pin when metallic or special material threads been used.

vBobbin threads

Bobbin Fill (special bobbin thread)

Bobbin Fill is an especially soft and light polyester thread suitable for bobbin thread. This special
bobbin thread ensures a steady thread tension and best performance of pieces of the upper and
bobbin thread.

29

Embroidery Preparation

Darning and embroidery thread

Fine mercerized cotton thread which is suitable for embroidering on cotton.

Note

In most cases, bobbin thread for embroidery is either white or black. Some special cases
require the same for upper and bobbin thread.

vStabilizer

Tear-away stabilizers

- The excess is easily to tear away.

- One or more layers can be used.

- Available for light and thick materials.

- Before hooping, apply a little spray onto back side of fabric can bring more stability on
performance.

- Carefully tear away excess stabilizer from the back of the project after completion.

- Ensure the embroidery pattern will not be deformed.

- Leaving the stabilizer under the larger embroidered areas.

Application:

- Available for all woven materials and non-stretch materials.

Cut-away stabilizers

- One or more layers can be used.

- Available for light and thick materials.

- Before hooping, apply a little spray onto back side of fabric can bring more stability on
performance.

- Carefully cut away excess stabilizer from the back of the project after completion.

- Ensure the embroidery patten will not be deformed.

- Leaving the stabilizer under the larger embroidered areas.

Application:

- For all elastic materials.

30

Embroidery Preparation

vAdhesive Spray

Avoid using spray adhesive next to your embroidery machine.

- Keep about 25-30 cm distance while using the spray.

- Use the spray carefully.

- Spray the stabilizer and adhere to back side of material carefully and iron to prevent wrinkles.

Application:

- Keep stretch and knitted material in shape.

- Prevent layers of fabric slipping while smooth material been used.

- Appliques can be exactly positioned.

- Place cloth on stabilizer, e.g. pocket aps.

- Do not place the napped materials(i.e. velvet) in the hoop. It may have hoop marks on the
material.

- Fix the area to be embroidered.

Spray starch for additional stiffening

Spray starch is ideal for additional stiffening on ne, soft or loosely woven materials.

- Spray on the area to be embroidered

- Wait until dry; or press gently with a warm iron if necessary

- Always use an additional stabilizer such as water soluble stabilizer to be applied on the
material.

Application:

- Ideal for ne, loosely woven materials, e.g. batiste, ne linen, etc.

31

Embroidery Preparation

vIron-on interfacing

Iron-on interfacings are available in a variety of weights. Iron-on interfacings should be selected
to suit the material being used. Use an iron-on interfacing which is easily removable from the
material.

Fuse the iron-on interfacing to the wrong side of material and press.

Application:

- Please use an appropriate stabilizer and cut it in a bigger shape than your embroidery
pattern. Then place it onto the design for support.

Paper-backed adhesive stabilizer

- Place stabilizer in hoop with paper side up.

- Use a pointed tool (e.g. scissors) to score the paper.

- Remove the paper to reveal the sticky surface.

- Position the fabric over the sticky surface and smooth into place.

Application:

- Intended for delicate materials such as jersey or silk etc.

- For hard-to-hoop parts and materials.

Note

Make sure that the adhesive residue on needle, stitch plate and hook area are totally removed.

Water soluble stabilizer

Water soluble stabilizer looks like plastic wrap. When you nish emboridery design, simply

submerse project in warm water to dissolve stabilizer. Water soluble stabilizer helps keep the

stitches from disappearing in high-pile fabrics (such as towels of uffy cotton).

- Place the water-soluble stabilizer on top of the fabric.

- Place all layers together into the embroidery hoop.

- Use adhesive spray to x stabilizer if necessary.

- For pile fabrics, an additional stabilizer on the wrong side is suggested for reinforcement.

- After nishing the sewing, dissolve it and lay the project until dry.

Application:

- Available for towel, velvet, bouclé and etc.

- Available for ne, sheer material such as organdy, bastiste and etc.

- Available for lace embroidery.

nAttention

Always use stabilizer material when
embroidery. The needle may break or bend
without using stabilizer material for thin
fabrics or stretch fabrics in embroidering
works. Furthermore, the pattern may not be
sewn perfectly.

To obtain the best embroidery performance,
it is important to use stabilizers.

Prepare stabilizer material that is larger than
the embroidery hoop being used.

If there is space between the presser
foot and the fabric, the fabric can be
embroidered. If there is not space, do not
embroider the fabric. Otherwise, the needle
may break, resulting in injury.

Please be careful when sewing overlapping
patterns as the needle might break due to

the difculty of fabric penetration.

After editing the embroidery image le, place the embroidery hoop with the corresponding

size to perform the preparations for embroidering.
