Beautiful embroidery work, with a three-dimensional appearance, can be created by winding the bobbin
with medium to heavy weight thread or ribbon, which is too thick to be threaded through the machine’s
needle. The decorative thread or ribbon will stitch out on the underneath side of fabric while sewing with
the fabric wrong side facing up.
Required Materials
■ Bobbin case and bobbin cover
a Bobbin case (gray)
There is a notch at the location indicated by the
letter “A”.
a Bobbin cover
There are two small v-shaped tabs on the back of
the bobbin cover as indicated by the letter “B”.
The tabs help hold the bobbin in place so it does
not lift up while thick thread is being pulled
through.
