CREATING BOBBIN WORK
Note
• Recommended stitches for bobbin work are
open “airy” type stitches.
• Be sure to sew trial stitches using same
fabric and threads as project in order to
check the sewing results.
• The bobbin thread may become tangled
due to the type of pattern and thread that
are being used. Since this may cause the
needle to break, immediately stop sewing if
this occurs. Turn off the machine and cut
out the tangled thread with scissors. Then,
clean the race and bobbin case as
described in “Fabric is caught in the
machine and cannot be removed” on
page A-23.
Memo
• For best results, select a longer stitch length
and a wider stitch width. Depending on the
selected stitch, it may not be possible to
change the stitch length and stitch width
settings.
• Depending on the fabric, bunched stitches
may result. We recommend selecting a
simple stitch and sewing trial stitches to
check the sewing results.
Examples of simple stitches: , ,
Note
• Before sewing, check that there is enough
thread in the bobbin.
CAUTION
• Before sewing, make sure the automatic thread
cutting has been turned off. If sewing is started with
automatic thread cutting turned on, the thread may
become tangled or the machine may be damaged.
Note
• Type and weight of stabilizer will depend on
fabric and thread being used.
