12.4 Important Embroidery information
Upper thread
A good quality thread (brand manufacturer) is essential for embroidery so that the embroidery is not affected
negatively because of poor thread or thread breakage.
Embroidery is particularly effective if you use 40wt glossy rayon or polyester embroidery threads as upper
threads. They are available in a wide range of colors for beautiful embroidery.

Bobbin thread
In most cases black or white bobbin thread is used for embroidering. When both sides should have the same
look, it is recommended to use the same color for bobbin and upper thread.

bobbin thread.
