Simple embroidering

1. After threading the bobbin thread, the upper

thread and the needle, pass the thread down
through the hole in embroidery foot Q, and
then pull about 2" (5 cm) of the upper thread
out toward the rear of the machine.

2. Design the embroidery pattern.

3. Lower the presser foot and press the

start/stop button to start the machine. After
sewing 5 to 6 stitches, stop the machine and
trim off any excess thread at the beginning of
the embroidery.

embroidering. The machine stops
embroidering when it has completed all of the
stitching with the thread color that is installed.
