Embroidering
does
require
some
practice.
but
with
the
right
tips
and
hints,
it
can
be
easy
to
achieve
beautiful
embroidery
results.
In
general,
a
looser
thread
tension
is
used
for
embroidery
work
than
for
utility
sewing
(±3).
In
addition,
the
bobbin
thread
tension
has
to
be
increased
by
turning
the
larger
of
the
milled
screws
on
the
bobbin
case
slightly
to
the
right
This
makes
the
embroidery
more
uniform
and
bolder
(see
page

Sewing
feet
The
most
suitable
sewing
toot
for
embroidery
work
is
No.
2A
Remember!
Never
engage
the
Dual
Feed
when
doing
embroidery
work
as
this
could
cause
a
distortion
in
the
embroidery
pattern.
Each
pattern
in
the
machine
is
pre-programmed
with
its
optimum
length
and
width
settings.
If
you
are
embroidering
on
difficult
materials
such
as
jersey,
silk
or
heavy
woollens
however,
you
should
adjust
your
pattern
with
the
balance (see
page
45).
Stabilizing
the
fabric
Whether
working
on
heavy
or
thin materials,
the
result
will be
better
if
the
fabric
has
been
stabilized.
Many
materials
tend
to
pucker,
particularly
when
using
dense
embroidery
stitches.
Therefore,
we
recommend:
Apply
iron-on
or
tear-away
stabilizer
under
the
fabric
to be
embroidered.
This
will stabilize
it
and
can
be
removed
quickly
and
easily
after
the
embro
idery
work
has
been
completed.
Water
soluble
stabilizers
are
transparent
gelatine
stabilizers
which
you
place
under
the
fabric
and
overstitch.
After
the
embroidery
work
has
been
completed,
this
stabilizer
can
be
effortlessy
remo
ved by
rinsing
under
running
water.
Alternatively,
a
gel
stabilizer
can be
used
to
stabilize
the
fabric.
The
gel
has
a
similar
effect
to
spray-on
starch.
It
has
to
dry
after
being
applied
but
it
becomes
very
stiff
and
can be
embroidered
on
most
materials
without
a
paper
underlay.
After
the
completion
of
the embro
idery
work
the
gel
can
be
washed
out
easily.
