Important Sewing information Important Sewing information Thread Be sure to select the appropriate thread type and weight for the fabric. For a perfect sewing result, thread and fabric quality play an important role. It is recommended to use quality brands.
Important Sewing information Needles, threads Correct needle/Thread combination To sew optimally, the thread should travel smoothly down the long groove on the front of the needle. Too thin thread or too thick needle The thread has too much clearance in the long groove. Skipped stitches and damage to the thread can occur. Too thick thread or too thin needle The thread rubs on the edges of the long groove and can get jammed. This can result in thread breakage.

Sewing preparation Thread-Guide-and-Lubricating Unit ATTENTION! The silicone fluid must ONLY be used for thread lubrication. Never use it to lubricate the hook system! As a thread-guide eyelet (Fig. 1) Use the unit without lubricator for a controlled guiding of the thread into the pretensioner, e.g. when using lively thread types. As a thread lubricator (Fig. 2) Using the lubricator is advisable when using e.g. threads with high function values, metallic threads, loosely twisted thread types etc.
Sewing preparation ATTENTION! It is absolutely essential to use the correct foam disc under the thread spool. Various Options of Application ̶̶ Vertical thread unwinding (with or without lubricator) from normal spool pin or optional multiple spool holder (Fig. 5-7) 5 6 ̶̶ Radial thread unwinding (with or without lubricator) (Fig.
Sewing preparation Upper thread tension Higher upper thread tension = the upper thread is tightened, which pulls the lower thread up to the top of the fabric. Lower upper thread tension = the upper thread is loosened, which enables it to be pulled to the back of the fabric. Basic settings are applied automatically when a stitch pattern or program is selected. The upper thread tension is set optimally at the BERNINA factory and the sewing computer has been tested.

Sewing preparation Alarm ⦁⦁ touch the «Clock»-icon 5 Setting the time of the alarm By touching the icon 1 the input fields are activated or deactivated.
Sewing preparation Feed dog and Fabric feed With each stitch the feed dog moves forward by one step. The length of this step is determined by the stitch length selected. With a very short stitch length the steps are very short. The fabric moves relatively slowly under the presser foot, even at full sewing speed, e.g. buttonholes and satin stitch and decorative stitches are sewn with a very short stitch length. Let the fabric feed evenly.

Important Embroidery information Important Embroidery information Embroidery threads A good quality thread is essential for embroidery to avoid poor stitch quality, thread breakage, etc. Embroidery is particularly effective if you use 40wt glossy rayon or polyester embroidery threads as upper threads. They are available in a wide range of colors for beautiful embroidery.
Important Embroidery information Choosing the embroidery motif Simple motifs with a low stitch count are suitable for embroidery on fine material. Large-scale, densely embroidered motifs (e.g. with multiple color and embroidery direction changes) are suitable for medium and heavy weight material. Embroidery test Always test stitch the embroidery motif on the same type material. Use the same stabilizer as will be used on the finished project.
Important Embroidery information Different stitch types Underlay stitches Underlay stitches are the foundation of a motif and are used to stabilize the base material and hold it in shape. They also prevent the covering stitches of the motif from sinking into the knit or the nap of the material. Satin stitch The needle moves left to right and vice versa. The result is a very dense, covering zig-zag stitching to fill the shape. Satin stitching fills are ideal for narrow and small shapes.
Preparing for embroidery Preparing for embroidery Attaching the Module ATTENTION! The slide-on table must not be attached while the embroidery module is being attached or removed. When attaching the embroidery module ensure that all the units are on the same even surface! The embroidery computer may run at high speeds when embroidering. Therefore the two units must be placed on a stable surface or the motor speed reduced when embroidering.
Preparing for embroidery Embroidery foot/Embroidery needle Embroidery needle Embroidery needles (130/705 H-SUK) provide a larger eye and are slightly rounded. This avoids thread abrasion when using Rayon- and cotton embroidery thread. ̶̶ use SUK-needles ̶̶ depending on the embroidery thread use a size No. 70-SUK to No. 90-SUK needle ̶̶ exchange the needle regularly Preparation ⦁⦁ attach Embroidery foot No.

Stabilizer Stabilizer Stabilizers Tear-away stabilizers ̶̶ excess is easily torn away ̶̶ one or more layers can be used ̶̶ available in different weights ̶̶ for more stability, apply to the wrong side of the material with temporary adhesive spray before hooping ̶̶ carefully tear away excess stabilizer from the back of the embroidery after stitching ̶̶ motifs are not skewed ̶̶ stabilizer will remain under larger embroidered areas Application: For all woven materials and materials without stretch.
Stabilizer Iron-on interfacing Iron-on interfacings are available in a variety of weights. Iron-on interfacings should be selected to suit the material being used. Use an iron-on interfacing which is easily removable from the material. ⦁⦁ iron-on interfacings are pressed (fused) to the wrong side of the material Application: To provide body and shape for materials onto which motifs will be placed, use in conjunction with appropriate stabilizer.
