For Your Safety

When your machine is embroidering do not leave the machine unattended. Keep the sewing area around your machine clutter free. When watching the machine sew keep your hands away from any moving parts such as the thread take up lever, the handwheel and the needle. Always turn off the power switch and unplug the power supply:

- when leaving the machine unattended.

- when attaching or removing parts.

- when cleaning the machine.

Polarized Plug (for U.S.A and Canada only)

The symbol “O” of a switch indicates the “off” position of a switch. For appliances with a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to ﬁt in a polarized outlet only one way. If it 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.

Adjusting the Thread Tension

Balanced thread tension

Balanced embroidery tension should show a small and even amount of embroider y thread on the back side of the embroidered design. When threads are looking unbalanced on your design always check these steps ﬁrst.

•

Re-thread the machine on top. Be sure that the embroidery thread is feeding evenly and correctly off the spool.

•

Check that the embroidery thread hasn’t come out of thread guides.

•

Check that the bobbin is correctly threaded.

When the needle thread tension is too tight

The bobbin thread shows on the right side of the fabric. Reduce the tension by turning the tension dial to a lower num ber.

Bobbin thread

q

When the needle thread tension is too loose

The embroidery thread shows more on the back of the design and can form loops. Increase the tension by turning the dial to a higher num ber.

Using Fabric and Stabilizer

Stabilizer (Adhesive surface facing down)

Hoop position

Material (Under side)

Embroidering surface (Top side)

Fabric

Use stabilizer to produce best results when embroidering.

• Fabrics which lack rmness or stability, such as lightweight cotton can pull in when being embroidered. This can result in problems such as shrinkage and puckering of the fabric around the embroidery area.

• Stretch fabrics may stretch or distort when tightening

the hoop, and the result may be uneven embroidery. Furthermore, when the fabric is removed from the hoop after embroidery is completed, the fabric may shrink and cause the embroidered pattern to become distorted.

Embroidery can be applied to many types of fabrics, but it may be necessary to prepare these fabrics in a special ma nner.

• Fabrics with a loopy or napped surface such as towels,

use a water soluble stabilizer both on the underside and on the topside of the fabric.

• Denim and linen are considered unstable because

of the loose weave, use a medium weight cut-away stabilizer on the backside.

• T-shirt type fabric usually requires at least one,

sometimes two layers of soft mesh-type cut-away stabilizer on the backside.

• For medium to heavyweight stable woven fabric, use a

medium to heavy weight tear-away type stabilizer.

• For soft or sheer fabrics, use a rinse-away type

sta b ilizer.

w

q

e

Stabilizer

Stabilizer is a non-woven substance. The three most common types of stabilizers available are tear-away, cut-away, and wash-away. Which stabilizer you choose will depend on the nature of the fabric on which you are embroidering. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to use and apply the stabilizer corr ectly.

Generally, the stabilizer should be larger in size than the hoop with which it is being used. When embroidery is completed, use a ﬁne point scissor to carefully remove any excess stabilizer from the embroidery area. See page 56 for information on using the appropriate sta b ilizer.

Template

When positioning the fabric into the hoop, use the template to align the centerlines on the fabric with the center of the hoop. First mark the centerlines on the fabric and place the fabric on the outer hoop. Place the inner hoop and template over the fabric and adjust the fabric placement.
