fabric.

From the wrong side of the fabric, tie the

by hand, and then cut off excess threads with 
scissors.

If the desired results could not be achieved, 
adjust the tension of the bobbin thread and of 
the upper thread, and then try sewing the 
stitching again.

For more details, refer to “ADJUSTING THE 
THREAD TENSION” on page 13.

Note

• Do not sew reinforcement/reverse stitches or use a 

“Thread Cutter” button (if so equipped) at the end of 
the stitching; otherwise it will be difficult to pull the 
bobbin thread up to the wrong side of the fabric. In 
addition the threads may become tangled or the 
needle may break possibly causing machine 
damage.

Note

• If it is difficult to pull up the bobbin thread, use a 

ribbon embroidery needle to pull the thread up to the 
wrong side of the fabric. Otherwise, use an awl to 
pull up the bobbin thread.

Note

• To ensure threads do not come undone after being 

tied place a drop of fabric glue on knots.
