Chapter 1

How to Create Bobbin Work

ABOUT BOBBIN WORK

Beautiful embroidery work, with a three-dimensional appearance, can be created by winding the bobbin with 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.

Bobbin work is sewn using the special bobbin case (gray) and bobbin cover with tabs included with Kit I.

Bobbin work embroidery is sewn using the bobbin work patterns included with this product in addition to

some of the utility stitches.

1. Utility stitches 2. Decorative stitches 3. Free motion sewing

ENGLISH

PREPARING FOR BOBBIN WORK

Required Materials

■Bobbin case and bobbin cover

aBobbin case (gray)

There is a notch at the location indicated by the letter

“A”.

bBobbin cover with tabs (for bobbin work)

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.

This bobbin cover can also be used with normal

sewing.

■Lower thread

We recommend the following types of threads for

bobbin work.

* When wide ribbon or heavy weight threads are being used, we

recommend test sewing with and without bobbin case tension

being applied to see which gives the best stitching results.

If wide ribbon such as 3.5mm (approx. 1/8 inch) is to be used,

we recommend that bobbin case tension not be applied. Refer

to page 8 for more detailed instructions.

■Upper thread

Upper thread choices can vary depending on the

finished look you would like to achieve. By using

sewing machine embroidery thread (polyester),

multipurpose polyester thread, or monofilament

(transparent nylon) thread the appearance of a single

design can be changed many times just by choosing a

different upper thread weight and/or color.

If you do not wish for the upper thread to be visible, we

recommend using transparent nylon monofilament

thread or polyester light weight thread (50wt. or above)

that is the same color as the lower thread.

■Needle

Use a needle appropriate for the upper thread and

fabric being used. Refer to “Fabric/Thread/Needle

Combinations” (in the chapter “CHANGING THE

NEEDLE”) and “Embroidery Step by Step” in the

machine’s Instruction and Reference Guide.

■Presser foot

Utility stitches or decorative stitches: Monogramming

foot “N”

Free motion sewing: Free motion quilting foot “C”, Free

motion open toe quilting foot “O” or Free motion echo

quilting foot “E”

Embroidery: Embroidery foot “W”

■Fabric

Be sure to sew trial stitches on a piece of scrap fabric,

which includes the same threads and fabric as what is

being used in your project.

No.5 or finer hand embroidery

thread or decorative thread

Flexible woven ribbon

(When embroidering: approx. 2mm

(approx. 5/64 inch) recommended)

Fine embroidery ribbon (silk or

silk-like material) (3.5 mm (approx.

1/8 inch) or less, recommended)

Note

• Do not use thread heavier than No.5 hand

embroidery thread.

• Some threads may not be appropriate for bobbin

work. Be sure to sew trial stitches before sewing on

your project.

Note

• The sewing results may be affected by the type of

fabric used. Before sewing your project, be sure to

sew trial stitches on a piece of scrap fabric that is

the same as the fabric used in the project.

Upper Threading

aInstall a needle appropriate for the upper

thread and fabric to be used.

For details on installing the needle, refer to

“CHANGING THE NEEDLE” in the machine’s

Instruction and Reference Guide.

bAttach the presser foot.

For details on attaching the presser foot, refer to

the following topics in the machine’s Instruction

and Reference Guide.

→CHANGING THE PRESSER FOOT

iInstall the flat bed attachment or embroidery

unit.

jInsert the thread tail from the spool of thread

through the hole in the bobbin from the inside

to the outside. Hold the thread tail while

winding the thread around the bobbin by

hand. After winding the bobbin so it is filled

as shown below (about 80%), cut the thread.

For precautions on winding the bobbin for

embroidering, refer to step bof “Selecting the

Pattern” on page 13.

kUsing scissors carefully trim the thread tail as

close to the bobbin as possible.

aBeginning of wound thread

lInstall the bobbin wound with thread.

Whether or not tension should be applied to the

bobbin thread depends on the type of thread

being used.

Note

• The bobbin case (gray) cannot be used for sewing in

any way other than bobbin work. After sewing

bobbin work, refer back to the steps in “Preparing

the Bobbin Thread” on page 6 for removing and

cleaning the bobbin case (gray), and then reinstall

the standard bobbin case (black).

CAUTION

• Be sure to use the bobbin case (gray) when creating

bobbin work. Using any other bobbin case may

result in the thread becoming tangled or damage to

the machine.

• Make sure that the bobbin case is correctly

installed. If the bobbin case is incorrectly installed,

the thread may become tangled or the machine may

be damaged.

CAUTION

• When creating bobbin work, use the bobbin cover

with tabs (for bobbin work), otherwise the thread

may become tangled or the needle may break.

CAUTION

• Be sure to use the machine’s included bobbin or one

designed specifically for this machine (Class 15).

Using any other bobbin may result in damage or

injuries.

Note

• Slowly and evenly wind the thread around the

bobbin.

• For best results, wind the bobbin so the thread is

snug and not twisted.

CAUTION

• If thread extends beyond the top of the bobbin too

much, the thread may become tangled or the

needle may break.

Memo

If inserting thread tail through bobbin hole is difficult

bobbin can be wound by holding tail and wrapping

thread around inside base. Then carefully trim thread

tail so it does not extend from the side of the bobbin.

11.5 mm

(approx.

7/16 inch)

■When tension is applied to the bobbin

thread

Insert bobbin into bobbin case so the thread unwinds

from the left side. Pass the thread carefully through

groove of needle plate cover as shown below.

aGroove of needle plate cover

■When tension is not applied to the bobbin

thread

If the bobbin thread in the trial stitching is too tight and

adjusting the bobbin case tension does not help, do not

pass the thread through the tension spring.

Hold the bobbin with your left hand so the thread

unwinds from the right side and hold the end of the

thread with your right hand.

mPull out about 8 cm (approx. 3 inches) of

bobbin thread.

nLightly hold the end of the upper thread while

turning the handwheel toward you

(counterclockwise) until the mark on the

handwheel aligns with the center top of

machine.

CAUTION

• When winding the bobbin, make sure the thread is

not frayed. Sewing with frayed thread may result in

the thread catching on the tension spring of the

bobbin case, the thread completely becoming

tangled or damage to the machine.

• Do not guide the bobbin thread completely through

the groove in the needle plate cover, otherwise the

lower threading cannot be done correctly. Thread

only as far as shown below.

ENGLISH

oGently pull the upper thread to bring the

bobbin thread up through the needle plate.

→A loop of the bobbin thread comes out through the

hole in the needle plate.

pInsert tweezers through bobbin thread loop

and pull bobbin thread above the needle

plate.

qAlign the upper thread and bobbin thread,

and then pull out about 10 cm (approx.

4 inches) of the threads and pass them under

the presser foot toward the rear of the

machine.

rInstall the the bobbin cover with tabs.

aBobbin cover with tabs

→This completes the upper and lower threading.

Note

• If utility stitches are to be used, refer to “CREATING

BOBBIN WORK (SEWING)” on page 10. If

embroidery patterns are to be used, refer to

“CREATING BOBBIN WORK (EMBROIDERY)” on

page 13.
