Follow these steps to set up your
machine for bobbinwork embroidery:
- Have second bobbin case on hand
so that you can loosen the tension
to accommodate the thick threads.
As always, make a test sample be-
fore starting your project. This will
allow you to make any necessary
adjustments to the bobbin tension
to achieve the desired look. - Select a design that is single-line
straight stitch. - Thread the sewing machine needle
in a color to match the quilt back. - Wind the bobbin with your chosen
thread. - Turn off the thread cutter to
eliminate thread nests.- Place the fabric/quilt sandwich in
the hoop with the right side down. - Bring the bobbin thread to the top
of the hoop at the beginning of the
design to eliminate thread nests on
the project right side. - Set the machine for the slowest
speed. - Leave a 4”- to 6”-tail at the design
end. Use a hand needle to thread
the tails between the quilt layers for
neat beginnings a nd ends.
- Place the fabric/quilt sandwich in
