Upper thread recommendations
Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the upper thread.
Note
● It is recommended that rayon or polyester embroidery thread be used (120 den x 2 / 135 dtex x 2 / 40
weight (in Americas and Europe) / #50 (in Japan)).
Fabric recommendations
Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the fabric.
Note
● Your machine can embroider fabric that is up to 1 mm (3/8 inch) thick. If thicker fabric is
sewn, the needle may bend or break.
● When embroidering overlapping stitches, it is difficult for the needle to penetrate the fabric,
possibly resulting in the needle bending or breaking.
Note
● Attach stabilizers to thin or stretch fabrics. (Refer to “Attaching Iron-On Stabilizer (Backing)
to Fabric” on page 66 for information)
● When embroidering large pieces of fabric, make sure that the fabric is not caught in the
carriage.
Display recommendations
Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the use of the display.
Note
● Only touch the display with your finger or included touch pen. Do not use a mechanical
pencil, screwdriver or any other hard or sharp object. In addition, do not apply extreme
pressure to the display screen, otherwise damage to the display screen may result.
• All or part of the display screen may sometimes become darker or lighter due to temperature
changes. This is not a sign of a malfunction. If the display is difficult to read, adjust its
brightness. (Refer to “If the LCD cannot be read” on page 213.)
• The display may be dark immediately after the embroidery machine is turned on. This is a
normal characteristic of the backlight and is not a sign of a malfunction. After approximately
10 minutes, the display should reach its normal level of brightness.
• If you are not directly facing the display, the colors may be distorted or the display may be
difficult to read. This is a normal characteristic of the display and is not a malfunction. Be sure
to sit in front of the display while using it.
