Steps To Complete

To start, wind a bobbin for each color of the design. The back of the design can be seen, so match the bobbin thread to the top thread (the thread in the needle).

Hoop one piece of heavy weight water-soluble stabilizer. For this project, we are using Vilene. Hoop the stabilizer nice and tight, and then tighten the hand screw.

Load the embroidery design and attach the hoop to the machine. Remember, match the bobbin thread with the top thread. Embroider the design - we recommend using a size 75/11 sharp sewing needle when stitching these designs.

When the machine stops for each color, remove the hoop but do not unhoop the stabilizer. Change the bobbin to match the next color.

Attach the hoop back onto the machine and continue with the design. At each color stop, match the bobbin thread to the top thread and continue with the design.
