Items to Prepare
Fabric and Stabilizer
Stabilizer is a piece of specialty product used under the fabric
to support it during the embroidery process to ensure the
best results.
Prepare stabilizer that is larger than the embroidery frame.
For details on using commercial stabilizer, refer to the
instructions included with it.
Embroidery thread (upper and bobbin threads)
Upper thread:
Prepare the colors needed for the pattern. Brother
embroidery thread is recommended. Other embroidery
threads may not yield optimum results.
Bobbin thread (or Pre-wound bobbin):
This thread is wound onto the bobbin and sewn on the wrong
side of the fabric. Use the included bobbin pre-wound with 90
weight embroidery bobbin thread or recommended 90 weight
embroidery bobbin thread.
Needle (on machine)
Use a 75/11 home sewing machine needle.
If the machine is not stitching well when embroidering on
heavy weight fabric, please try a 90/14 needle. (page 32)
