Fabric Guide
Different fabrics for each group, suitable for your
projects, are listed below.
Note: Some fabrics have excess dye which can cause
discoloration on other fabrics or on your embroidery ma-
chine. This discoloration may be very difcult or impossi-
ble to remove.
Fleece and denim fabric, especially red and blue, often
contain excess dye.
Note: If you suspect that your fabric/ready-to-wear
garment contains a lot of excess dye, always pre-wash
it before embroidering to prevent discoloration of your
machine.
The difference between woven and knit fabric is the
way the threads are put together. Woven fabrics are
made of two thread system, warp lengthwise and
weft crosswise, that intersect at right angles. A knit

stitches. A knit fabric usually has stretch.

Stitch Settings
Your machine will set the recommended settings for
each selected stitch. You can make your own adjust-
ments to the selected stitch. The changes will only
affect the selected stitch and will be reset to default
when selecting another stitch or turning your ma-
chine off.
The controls available on the screen will change
depending on what stitch is loaded. Some stitches
have more than one control.
Note: The default setting is always shown in black num-
bers.
