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