Be creful when emroidering overlpping ptterns. The needle my not esily pierce the fric, cusing the needle to rek. Stilizer mteril (option) Attch stilizer mteril for emroidery to the fric to prevent poor qulity emroidery designs. Use wter solule sheet on thin mterils like orgndy nd frics with np like towels. For detils, refer to "Attching stilizer mteril to the fric" (pge 43). Emroidery thred (option) For the upper thred, use the emroidery thred or country thred. For the oin thred, use the emroidery oin thred. For detils, refer to "Optionl ccessories" (pge 9). Memo For good qulity emroidery designs e sure to use emroidery thred designed for emroidery mchines. Before strting to emroider, e sure there is enough oin thred. If you continue emroidering when the oin thred is low, the thred my ecome tngled. Needle Use 75/11 home sewing mchine needle. When emroidering on thick frics such s denim, use 90/14 home sewing mchine needle. Memo A 75/11 needle is lredy instlled when the mchine is purchsed.
