Embroidering
CAUTION
–
When sewing embroidery, Brother embroidering thread (X81164-001) must be used for the
bobbin thread.
– Check bobbin thread before beginning to sew. If you embroider when the bobbin thread is low,
the thread could tangle up or other problems could result.
– If you are using the embroidery unit, the foot controller cannot be used at this time.
Example :
1. Select the desired pattern.
The order of sewing for each part will be displayed.
*
1/4 indicates that the picture displayed to the left is for
the first color to be stitched of a four-color design.
* The color displayed above each pattern is suggested color
to use.
· Some parts may not have a color displayed above them;
you can sew these parts with any color you like.
· Refer to Color screen.
2. Thread the needle for the first color and pass it through em-
broidery foot “Q”. Hold this thread in your left hand while leav-
ing a certain amount of slack in the thread.
CAUTION
Be sure to raise the presser foot lever before threading the
needle.
3. Lower presser foot lever and start embroidering. After 5 to 6
stitches have been sewn, stop the sewing machine and cut off
any surplus thread from the end of the seam.
4. Start sewing again. The machine will sew the first color, then
stop automatically. (When it stops sewing, the screen auto-
matically scrolls to the left to display the next color to be sewed
on the left side of the screen.)
